The length of a spring is $l$ and its force constant is $k$. When a weight $W$ is suspended from it, its length increases by $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and put in parallel and the same weight $W$ is suspended from them, then the extension will be
  • A$2x$
  • B$x$
  • C$\frac{x}{2}$
  • D$\frac{x}{4}$
