An area of cross-section of a rubber string is $2 \, cm^2$. Its length is doubled when stretched with a linear force of $2 \times 10^5 \, dynes$. The Young's modulus of the rubber in $dyne/cm^2$ will be:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^5$
  • B
    $1 \times 10^5$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^5$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^4$
