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

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