When the temperature of a wire is increased from $303 \ K$ to $356 \ K$,the resistance of the wire increases by $10 \%$. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the material of the wire is:

  • A
    $2 \times 10^{-3} \ K^{-1}$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-4} \ K^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.1 \times 10^{-3} \ K^{-1}$
  • D
    $1.1 \times 10^{-4} \ K^{-1}$
