$A$ slab of side $50 \text{ cm}$ and thickness $10 \text{ cm}$ is subjected to a shearing force of $10^5 \text{ N}$ on its narrow edge. If the lower edge is riveted to the floor and the upper edge is displaced by $0.2 \text{ mm}$, then the shear modulus of the material of the slab is: (in $\text{ GPa}$)

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $4.5$
