$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ undergoes pure rolling down a plane inclined to the horizontal at an angle $\theta$. If the radius of gyration is $k$, then its acceleration is

  • A
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{k^2}{R^2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{R^2+k^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{2(R^2+k^2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{2(1+\frac{k^2}{R^2})}$
