$A$ metal wire having Poisson's ratio $1/4$ and Young's modulus $8 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$ is stretched by a force,which produces a lateral strain of $0.02 \%$ in it. The elastic potential energy stored per unit volume in the wire is [in $J/m^3$]

  • A
    $2.56 \times 10^4$
  • B
    $1.78 \times 10^6$
  • C
    $3.72 \times 10^2$
  • D
    $2.18 \times 10^5$
