Two wires of equal lengths are made of the same material. Wire $A$ has a diameter that is twice as that of wire $B$. If identical weights are suspended from the ends of these wires,the increase in length is

  • A
    Four times for wire $A$ as for wire $B$
  • B
    Twice for wire $A$ as for wire $B$
  • C
    Half for wire $A$ as for wire $B$
  • D
    One-fourth for wire $A$ as for wire $B$
