$A$ spherical iron ball of $10 \text{ cm}$ radius is coated with a layer of ice of uniform thickness that melts at the rate of $50 \text{ cm}^3/\text{min}$. If the thickness of the ice is $5 \text{ cm}$,then the rate at which the thickness of the ice decreases is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{18 \pi} \text{ cm/min}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{9 \pi} \text{ cm/min}$
  • C
    $\frac{-1}{18 \pi} \text{ cm/min}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3 \pi} \text{ cm/min}$
