Three thin rods,each of mass $2M$ and length $L$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z$ axes,which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of the system about the $x$-axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{4ML^2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{ML^2}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{2ML^2}{3}$
