\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} & \text { Poisson's ratio }=\frac{\text { Lateral strain }}{\text { Longitudinal strain }} \\\\ & \text { or } \quad \sigma=-\frac{\Delta D / D}{\Delta L / L} \\\\ & \therefore \quad\left|\frac{\Delta D}{D}\right|=\sigma \times \frac{\Delta L}{L}=0.4 \times 0.1 \% \\\\ & =0.04 \% \\ & \end{aligned} }


\therefore  So the correct choice is (a).
