The length of a metal rod at $30^{\circ} C$ is $30 \ cm$. If its temperature is raised to $105^{\circ} C$,its length is increased by $0.027 \ cm$. Then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is

  • A
    $12 \times 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $12 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{-7} /{ }^{\circ} C$
