There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand still, the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the resultant acceleration becomes $g/4,$ then the new time period of the pendulum is

  • A

    $0.8 \,T$

  • B

    $0.25\, T$

  • C

    $2\, T$

  • D

    $4\, T$
