The thickness of a uniform rectangular metal plate is $5 \ mm$ and the area of each surface is $5 \ cm^2$. In steady state, the temperature difference between the two surfaces of the plate is $14^{\circ} C$. If the heat flowing through the plate in one second from one surface to the other surface is $42 \ J$, then the thermal conductivity of the metal is

  • A
    $90 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • B
    $30 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • C
    $45 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • D
    $60 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
