A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V{/^o}C$ in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance $10\; ohm$ whose sensitivity is $1\;\mu A/div$, is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be
  • A$0.1$
  • B$0.5$
  • C$0.25$
  • D$1$
