The figure shows an isosceles triangular plate of mass $M$ and base $L$. The angle at the apex is $90^o$. The apex lies at the origin and the base is parallel to the $X$-axis. The moment of inertia of the plate about the $z$-axis is

  • A
    $\frac{ML^2}{12}$
  • B
    $\frac{ML^2}{24}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • D
