$A$ clock is designed based on the oscillations of a spring-block system suspended vertically in the absence of air resistance. Assume it shows the correct time when a spring of stiffness $k$ and a block of mass $m$ are used. If the block is replaced by another block of mass $4m$,choose the correct option.

  • A
    The clock runs slow by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • B
    The clock runs fast by $0.5 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • C
    The clock runs fast by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
  • D
    The clock runs slow by $1 \text{ s}$ for every one second.
