The volume of a metal sphere increases by $0.15\%$ when its temperature is raised by $24\,^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

  • A
    $2.5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $2.0 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $-1.5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $1.2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$
