A simple pendulum of length $l$ is made to oscillate with an amplitude of $45$ degrees. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$. Let $T_0=2 \pi \sqrt{l / g}$. The time period of oscillation of this pendulum will be

  • A

    $T_0$ irrespective of the amplitude

  • B

    slightly less than $T_{0}$

  • C

    slightly more than $T_0$

  • D

    dependent on whether it swings in a plane aligned with the north-south or east-west directions
