From a certain point on a straight road, a person observes a tower in the west direction at a distance of 200 m. He walks some distance 'along the road and finds that the same tower is 300 m south of him. What is the shortest distance of the tower from the road?

A

`(300)/(sqrt(13))` m

B

`(500)/(sqrt(13))` m

C

`(600)/(sqrt(13))` m

D
