$A$ body of mass $M$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a sand floor. If the body penetrates $x$ into the sand,the average resistance offered by the sand to the body is

  • A
    $Mg\left( \frac{h}{x} \right)$
  • B
    $Mg\left( 1 + \frac{h}{x} \right)$
  • C
    $Mgh + Mgx$
  • D
    $Mg\left( 1 - \frac{h}{x} \right)$
