The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.33 \%$ when its temperature is raised by $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

  • A
    $2.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $6.6 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $13.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $19.8 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
