$A$ metal rod of silver at $0^{\circ}C$ is heated to $100^{\circ}C$. Its length increases by $0.19\, cm$. If the original length of the rod is $100\, cm$,the coefficient of cubical expansion of the silver rod is:

  • A
    $5.7 \times 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C^{-1}}$
  • B
    $0.63 \times 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C^{-1}}$
  • C
    $1.9 \times 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C^{-1}}$
  • D
    $16.1 \times 10^{-5} {^{\circ}C^{-1}}$
