Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

Moment of Inertia: 

Moment of inertia plays the same role in rotational motion as mass plays in linear motion. It is the property of a body due to which it opposes any change in its state of rest or of uniform rotation.

And moment of inertia of a particle is given as

\({\rm{I = m}}{{\rm{R}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

Here,

m = Mass of the particele

R = Distance from the axis of rotation

Unit: kg.m2
