$A$ thin rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is bent at the middle point $O$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the rod about an axis passing through $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the rod will be:

  • A
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{ML^2}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{24}$
  • D
    $\frac{ML^2}{3}$
