Here you go bro!
use the formula for E
E = F L / Ax
rearrange to get the ratio x / L on one side (change in length / original length)
you'll get is x / L = F / E A : Where - (A = pi r ^2 )
= 20 / 2 * 10^(11) * pi x (2.5 * 10^(-4))^2
= 5.1 * 10^(-4)
multiply this by a 100 to get the percentage
5.1 x 10^-4 x 100 = 5.1 x 10^-2 %
So answer is B.
