$A$ cuboid $ABCDEFGH$ is anisotropic with $\alpha_x = 1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$,$\alpha_y = 2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$,$\alpha_z = 3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of superficial expansion of the faces can be:

  • A
    $\beta_{ABCD} = 5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $\beta_{BCGH} = 4 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $\beta_{CDEH} = 3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
