If the linear coefficient of thermal expansion for copper is $17.0 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, then what decrease in temperature of the copper shaft is required for the shaft to just fit inside the hole?
A) $33.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
B) $39.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
C) $30.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
D) $23.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
E) $26.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
