$A$ thin rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is bent at its midpoint $O$ at an angle of $90^{\circ}$. The moment of inertia of the bent rod about an axis passing through the point $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the bent rod is:

  • A
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{2} ML^2}{24}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{24}$
