If the tangent to the curve y=1−x2y = 1 - x^2 at x=αx = \alpha, where 0<α<10 < \alpha < 1, meets the axes at P and Q. As α\alpha varies, the minimum value of the area of the triangle OPQ is kk times the area bounded by the axes and the part of the curve for which 0<x<10 < x < 1, then kk is equal to - (A) 23\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} (B) 7516\frac{75}{16} (C) 2518\frac{25}{18} (D) 23\frac{2}{3}
