An ice ball melts at a rate proportional to the amount of ice present at that instant. Half of the initial quantity of ice melts in $15 \text{ minutes}$. Let $x_0$ be the initial quantity of ice. If after $30 \text{ minutes}$ the amount of ice left is $k x_0$,then the value of $k$ is:

  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $1/3$
  • C
    $1/4$
  • D
    $1/8$
