The height of a tower is $100 \text{ m}$. When the angle of elevation of the sun changes from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$,the shadow of the tower becomes $x \text{ m}$ smaller. The value of $x$ is (in $\text{m}$):

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $100 \sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $100(\sqrt{3}-1)$
  • D
    $\frac{100}{\sqrt{3}}$
