Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of the same material and areas of cross-section in the ratio $1: 2$ are stretched by the same force. If the masses of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $2: 3$, then the ratio of the elongations of the wires $A$ and $B$ is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $8: 3$
  • C
    $1: 3$
  • D
    $4: 3$
