$A$ sphere of density $\rho$,specific heat capacity $c$,and radius $r$ is hung by a thermally insulating thread in an enclosure which is kept at a lower temperature than the sphere. The temperature of the sphere starts to drop at a rate which depends upon the temperature difference between the sphere and the enclosure and the nature of the surface of the sphere and is proportional to

  • A
    $\frac{c}{r^3 \rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{r^3 \rho c}$
  • C
    $3r^3 \rho c$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{r \rho c}$
