$A$ wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is made of a material with Young's modulus $Y$. It is stretched by an amount $x$. The work done in stretching the wire is:

  • A
    $\frac{Y x^2 A}{2 L}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 Y x^2 A}{L}$
  • C
    $\frac{Y x A}{2 L}$
  • D
    $\frac{Y x^2 A}{2}$
