To divide a line segment AB in the ratio 5 : 6, draw a ray AX such that ∠BAX is an acute angle, then draw a ray BY parallel to AX and the points A1, A2, A3, … and B1, B2, B3, … are located at equal distances on ray AX and BY, respectively. Then the points joined are
A. A5 and B6
B. A6 and B5
C. A4 and B5
D. A5 and B4
