$A$ spring of force constant $K$ is first stretched by distance $a$ from its natural length and then further by distance $b$. The work done in stretching the part $b$ is .............

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} K a(a-b)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} K a(a+b)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} K b(2 a+b)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} K b(a-b)$
