As shown in the figure,in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire,the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of the wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times 10^4\,N/m^2$. The value of $x$ is

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $5$
