The following four wires are made of the same material. Which one will have the largest elongation when subjected to the same tension?

$A$ wire of length $0.5 \ m$ and area of cross-section $4 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$ is suspended vertically by fixing its upper end to the ceiling. The wire is then cooled to $0^{\circ} C$,but is prevented from contracting,by attaching a mass at the lower end. If the mass of the wire is negligible,then the value of the mass attached to the wire is (Young's modulus of material of the wire $= 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$; coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the wire $= 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)
