According to Joule's law of heating,heat produced $H = I^2Rt$,where $I$ is current,$R$ is resistance,and $t$ is time. If the errors in the measurement of $I, R$,and $t$ are $3\%, 4\%$,and $6\%$ respectively,then the error in the measurement of $H$ is:

  • A
    $ \pm 17\%$
  • B
    $ \pm 16\%$
  • C
    $ \pm 19\%$
  • D
    $ \pm 25\%$
