If a $0.4 \text{ molal}$ solution of a nonvolatile solute in an organic solvent decreases its freezing point by $2.4 \text{ K}$, then the molal depression constant $(K_f)$ of the solvent will be:

  • A
    $3.0 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}$
  • B
    $4.0 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}$
  • C
    $5.0 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}$
  • D
    $6.0 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}$
