An iron sphere having diameter $D$ and mass $M$ is immersed in hot water so that the temperature of the sphere increases by $\delta T$. If $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion of the iron,then the change in the surface area of the sphere is:

  • A
    $\pi D^2 \cdot \alpha \delta T(\alpha \delta T-4)$
  • B
    $\pi D^2 \cdot \alpha \cdot \delta T(\alpha \delta T+4)$
  • C
    $\pi D^2 \cdot \alpha \cdot \delta T(\alpha \delta T-2)$
  • D
    $\pi D^2 \cdot \alpha \delta T(\alpha \delta T+2)$
