The rhombus represented in Figure 1 was formed by the union of the centers of four tangent circles, with radii of the same measure. By doubling the radius of two of the circles centered at opposite vertices of the rhombus and still maintaining the tangency configuration, a situation is obtained as illustrated by Figure 2. The perimeter of the rhombus in Figure 2, when compared to the perimeter of the rhombus in Figure 1, had an increase of (A) 300\%. (B) $200\%$. (C) 150\%. (D) 100\%. (E) $50\%$.
