Two discs have the same thickness. Their radii are $R_1$ and $R_2$ and their densities are $d_1$ and $d_2$. The moment of inertia of the second disc is greater than the first if:

  • A
    $R_1 > R_2$
  • B
    $d_1 > d_2$
  • C
    $R_2 > R_1$ and $d_2 > d_1$
  • D
    $R_1 > R_2$ and $d_1 > d_2$
