$A$ circular disc $D_1$ of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has two identical discs $D_2$ and $D_3$ of the same mass $M$ and radius $R$ attached rigidly at its opposite ends (see figure). The moment of inertia of the system about the axis $OO'$,passing through the centre of $D_1$ as shown in the figure,will be:

  • A
    $MR^2$
  • B
    $3MR^2$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}MR^2$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}MR^2$
