$A$ uniform spherical object of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a moment of inertia $I$. It rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. What is its acceleration?

  • A
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{M R^2}{I}}$
  • B
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{I}{M R^2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{M R^2}{I}}$
  • D
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 - \frac{I}{M R^2}}$
