If a particle of mass $m$ is moving with constant velocity $v$ parallel to the $X$-axis in the $x-y$ plane as shown in the figure,its angular momentum with respect to the origin at any time $t$ will be:

  • A
    $mvb\,\hat{k}$
  • B
    $-mvb\,\hat{k}$
  • C
    $mvb\,\hat{i}$
  • D
    $mv\,\hat{i}$
