The Young's modulus of a steel wire of length $6\,m$ and cross-sectional area $3\,mm ^2$, is $2 \times 11^{11}\,N / m ^2$. The wire is suspended from its support on a given planet. A block of mass $4\,kg$ is attached to the free end of the wire. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of its value on the earth. The elongation of wire is  (Take $g$ on the earth $=10$ $\left.m / s ^2\right):$
  • A$1\,cm$
  • B$1\,mm$
  • C$0.1\,mm$
  • D$0.1\,cm$
