Four spheres,each of mass $M$ and radius $r$,are situated at the four corners of a square of side $R$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the square and passing through its centre will be

  • A
    $\frac{5}{2}M(4r^2 + 5R^2)$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5}M(4r^2 + 5R^2)$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{5}M(4r^2 + 5r^2)$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2}M(4r^2 + 5r^2)$
