Three spheres,each of mass $m$ and radius $r$,are placed as shown in the figure. Consider an axis $YY^1$,which is tangent to two spheres (labeled $2$ and $3$) and passes through the diameter of the third sphere (labeled $1$). The moment of inertia of the system consisting of these three spheres about the $YY^1$ axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{7}{5} mr^2$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5} mr^2$
  • C
    $\frac{16}{5} mr^2$
  • D
    $\frac{mr^2}{2}$
