The adjoining figure shows a disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ lying in the $X-Y$ plane with its centre on the $X$-axis at a distance $a$ from the origin. Then the moment of inertia of the disc about the $X$-axis is

  • A
    $M\left(\frac{R^2}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $M\left(\frac{R^2}{4}\right)$
  • C
    $M\left(\frac{R^2}{4} + a^2\right)$
  • D
    $M\left(\frac{R^2}{2} + a^2\right)$
