Ritu took two bimetallic strips, I and II (of equal size, length and breadth) made up of metals P and Q; and Q and R, respectively as shown in the figure. She subjected each bimetallic strip to heating for the same time period. The given diagram shows her experiment.

Which of the following can be inferred from the given experiment?

AMetal Q expands more as compared to metals P and R on heating for the same time period.
BMetal R contracts more as compared to metals P and Q on heating for the same time period.
CThe order of expansion of these metals when subjected to heating is R < Q < P.
DBoth B and C
