One quarter sector is cut from a uniform circular disc of radius $R$. This sector has mass $M$. It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre of the original disc. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} M R^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} M R^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{8} M R^2$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2} M R^2$
