The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}.$ Measured value of mass $m$ of the object is $10\,\text{g}$ with an accuracy of $10\,\text{mg}$ and time for $50$ oscillations of the spring is found to be $60\,\text{s}$ using a watch of $2\,\text{s}$ resolution. Percentage error in determination of spring constant $k$ is:

A
$7.60\%$
B
$6.76\%$
C
$3.43\%$
D
$3.35\%$
