$A$ ball rolls without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its centre of mass is $K$. If the radius of the ball is $R$,then the fraction of total energy associated with its rotational energy is:

  • A
    $\frac{K^2}{R^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{K^2}{K^2 + R^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{R^2}{K^2 + R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{K^2 + R^2}{R^2}$
