An open knife edge of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates up to the depth $d$ into the wood,the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is

  • A
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg\left( {1 - \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • C
    $mg\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • D
    $mg{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)^2}$
