$A$ spring-block system in horizontal oscillation has a time period $T$. If the spring is cut into four equal parts and the block is re-connected with one of the parts,what will be the new time period of oscillation?

  • A
    $\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $2 T$
  • C
    $\frac{T}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{T}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
