Consider a cylinder of height h and radius a, closed at both ends, centred at the origin. Let \[\hat ix + \hat jy + \hat kz\] be the position vector and \[{\hat n}\] a unit vector normal to the surface. The surface integral \[\int\limits_S {\overrightarrow r \cdot \hat n\,} dS\] over the closed surface-of the cylinder is

A. 2πa2(a + h)
B. 3πa2h
C. 2πa2h
D. zero
