$A$ uniform wire of length $10 \ m$ and diameter $0.6 \ mm$ is stretched by $6 \ mm$ with a certain force. If the Poisson's ratio of the material of the wire is $0.3$,then the change in diameter of the wire is

  • A
    $108 \times 10^{-8} \ m$
  • B
    $108 \times 10^{-6} \ m$
  • C
    $10.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m$
  • D
    $1.08 \times 10^{-8} \ m$
