Point $O$ is the center of the regular octagon $ABCDEFGH$ , and $X$ is the midpoint of the side $\overline{AB}.$ What fraction of the area of the octagon is shaded?

$\textbf{(A) }\frac{11}{32} \quad\textbf{(B) }\frac{3}{8} \quad\textbf{(C) }\frac{13}{32} \quad\textbf{(D) }\frac{7}{16}\quad \textbf{(E) }\frac{15}{32}$

[asy] pair A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,O,X; A=dir(45); B=dir(90); C=dir(135); D=dir(180); E=dir(-135); F=dir(-90); G=dir(-45); H=dir(0); O=(0,0); X=midpoint(A--B);

fill(X--B--C--D--E--O--cycle,rgb(0.75,0.75,0.75)); draw(A--B--C--D--E--F--G--H--cycle);

dot(" $A$ ",A,dir(45)); dot(" $B$ ",B,dir(90)); dot(" $C$ ",C,dir(135)); dot(" $D$ ",D,dir(180)); dot(" $E$ ",E,dir(-135)); dot(" $F$ ",F,dir(-90)); dot(" $G$ ",G,dir(-45)); dot(" $H$ ",H,dir(0)); dot(" $X$ ",X,dir(135/2)); dot(" $O$ ",O,dir(0)); draw(E--O--X); [/asy]
