The volume of a metal block increases by $0.225 \%$ when its temperature is increased by $30^{\circ} C$. Hence,the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the metal block is

  • A
    $7.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • B
    $6.75 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
  • D
    $1.5 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$.
