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

  • A
    $\frac{ML^2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2ML^2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • D
    $ML^2$
