Three thin rods,each of length $L$ and mass $M$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z-$ axes such that one end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of this system about the $z-$ axis is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Two rings have their moments of inertia in the ratio $2:1$ and their diameters are in the ratio $2:1$. The ratio of their masses is
