$A$ thin wire of length $L$ and linear mass density $m$ is bent into a circular ring (in $x-y$ plane) with centre $C$ as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the ring about an axis $yy'$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{3mL^3}{8\pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{3mL^2}{8\pi^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3mL^3}{8\pi^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mL^2}{8\pi}$
