In order to test the strength of a rope,one end is tied to a large tree and the other end is hitched to a team of $2$ horses. The horses pull as hard as they can,but cannot break the rope. If the rope is untied from the tree and attached to another team of $2$ horses with equal strength,and the two teams pull in opposite directions,the tension in the rope will

  • A
    decrease by a factor of $2$
  • B
    remain the same
  • C
    increase by a factor of $2$
  • D
    increase by a factor of $4$
