A close coil helical spring of mean diameter D consists of n coils of diameter d. If it carries an axial load W, the energy stored in the spring, is
A. $$\frac{{4{\text{W}}{{\text{D}}^2}{\text{n}}}}{{{{\text{d}}^4}{\text{N}}}}$$
B. $$\frac{{4{{\text{W}}^2}{\text{Dn}}}}{{{{\text{d}}^4}{\text{N}}}}$$
C. $$\frac{{4{{\text{W}}^2}{{\text{D}}^3}{\text{n}}}}{{{{\text{d}}^4}{\text{N}}}}$$
D. $$\frac{{4{{\text{W}}^2}{{\text{D}}^3}{{\text{n}}^2}}}{{{{\text{d}}^4}{\text{N}}}}$$
