For the figure shown,when arcs $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of the same material,the total heat current carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$. If $ADB$ is replaced with another material,the total heat current becomes $2H$. If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$,what is the ratio of the new thermal conductivity to the old thermal conductivity of the arc $ADB$?

  • A
    $\frac{7}{3}$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • D
    $3$
