Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii $R_{1} = R$ and $R_{2} = \alpha R$ made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$,respectively,about their axes is $I_{1} : I_{2} = 1 : 16$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $ \sqrt{2} $
  • B
    $ 2 $
  • C
    $ 4 $
  • D
    $ 2 \sqrt{2} $
