Since the radius of circle O is 4 (i.e., AO = 4), BO = 2. We can form a right triangle by connecting B, E, and O. If we let x = radius of circle E, the legs of right triangle BOE are BO = 2 and OE = 4 - x, and its hypotenuse is BE = 2 + x. Now, using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
2^2 + (4 - x)^2 = (2 + x)^2
4 + 16 - 8x + x^2 = 4 + 4x + x^2
16 - 8x = 4x
16 = 12x
x = 16/12 = 4/3

Radius OA=4
therefore OB=OC=2
Now let radius of circle E =x
BE=EC=2+x
As BE=EC and OB=OC, implies EO is perpendicular to BC
Now in triangle EOB :
OB=2
EB=2+x
EO =4-x (radius of circle O - radius of circle E)
solving Pythagoras : OB^2+OE^2=BE^2
=> x=4/3
Answer : D
