An external pressure P is applied on a cube at `0^@C` so that it is equally compressed from all sides. K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and `alpha` is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by:

A

`(3alpha)/(PK)`

B

`3PKalpha`

C

`(P)/(3alphaK)`

D

`(P)/(alphaK)`
