A woman at a point A on the shore of a circular lake with radius $4 \mathrm{mi}$ wants to arrive at the point C diametrically opposite on the other side of the lake in the shortest possible time. She can walk at the rate of $6 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$ and row a boat at $2 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$ . How should she proceed? (Find $\theta$ ). Round the result, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth.
A) $0.62$ radians
B) $0.44$ radians
C) $0.46$ radians
D) She should walk around the lake from point A to point C.
E) She should row from point A to point C radians
