The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.30 \%$,when its temperature is raised by $50^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

  • A
    $6 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
