Four spheres,each of mass $M$ and radius $a$,are placed at the four corners of a square of side $b$. Calculate the moment of inertia of the system about one of the sides of the square as the axis.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5} M (4a + 5b^2)$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{5} M (4a^2 - 5b^2)$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{5} M (4a + 5b)$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{5} M (4a^2 + 5b^2)$
