$A$ number of identical cubical blocks of edge $a$ and mass $m$ are lying on a horizontal table. The work done on the blocks in arranging them in a column of height $(n + 1)a$ on the table is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}ma\,g{n^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}ma\,g\left( {{n^2} + n} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}\left( {{n^2} - 2} \right)mag$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}{\left( {n + 1} \right)^2}mag$
