A sphere of density `d`, specific heat `s` and radius `r` is hung by a thermally insulating thread in an enclosure which is kept at a lower temperature than the sphere. The temperature of the sphere starts to drop at a rate which depends upon the temperature difference between the sphere and the enclosure. If the temperature difference is `DeltaT` and surrounding temperature is `T_(0)` then rate of fall in temperature will be
[Given that `DeltaT lt lt T_(0)`]

A

`c//r^3rho`

B

`1//r^3rhoc`

C

`3//r^3rhoc`

D

`1//rrhoc`
