$A$ magnetic needle is placed in a uniform magnetic field and is aligned with the field. The needle is now rotated by an angle of $60^{\circ}$ and the work done is $W$. The torque on the magnetic needle at this position is

  • A
    $2 \sqrt{3} W$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3} W$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} W$
  • D
