Let $L$ be the length and $d$ be the diameter of the cross-section of a wire. Wires of the same material with different $L$ and $d$ are subjected to the same tension along the length of the wire. In which of the following cases will the extension of the wire be the maximum?

  • A
    $L = 200 \ cm, d = 0.5 \ mm$
  • B
    $L = 300 \ cm, d = 1.0 \ mm$
  • C
    $L = 50 \ cm, d = 0.05 \ mm$
  • D
    $L = 100 \ cm, d = 0.2 \ mm$
