Three non-overlapping regular plane polygons, at least two of which are congruent, all have sides of length $ 1$. The polygons meet at a point $ A$ in such a way that the sum of the three interior angles at $ A$ is $ 360^\circ$. Thus the three polygons form a new polygon with $ A$ as an interior point. What is the largest possible perimeter that this polygon can have? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 12\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 14\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 18\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 21\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 24$
