Four identical solid spheres each of mass $m$ and radius $a$ are placed with their centres on the four corners of a square of side $b$. The moment of inertia of the system about one side of the square is:

  • A
    $\frac{4}{5} ma^{2} + 2 mb^{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5} ma^{2} + mb^{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{5} ma^{2} + 2 mb^{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{5} ma^{2}$
