$A$ force of $10^3 \ N$ stretches the length of a hanging wire by $1 \ mm$. The force required to stretch a wire of the same material and length,but having four times the diameter,by $1 \ mm$ is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^3 \ N$
  • B
    $16 \times 10^3 \ N$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4} \times 10^3 \ N$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{16} \times 10^3 \ N$
