$A$ uniform solid sphere of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is being pulled on a horizontal surface with a force $F$ parallel to the surface,applied at its topmost point. If the acceleration of the center of mass of the sphere is $a$ and it is rolling without slipping on the surface,the value of $F$ is:

  • A
    $ma$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} ma$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{10} ma$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{7} ma$
