If the Earth is considered a sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$,then its angular momentum about its axis of rotation in terms of the time period $T$ will be:

  • A
    $ \frac{\pi M R^3}{T} $
  • B
    $ \frac{M R^2 \pi}{T} $
  • C
    $ \frac{2 \pi M R^2}{5 T} $
  • D
    $ \frac{4 \pi M R^2}{5 T} $
