For a molecule of an ideal gas,the number density is $2 \sqrt{2} \times 10^8 \text{ cm}^{-3}$ and the mean free path is $\frac{10^{-2}}{\pi} \text{ cm}$. The diameter of the gas molecule is

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • B
    $0.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
