If $M$ is the mass of a planet and $R$ is its radius,then in order to become a black hole (where $c$ is the speed of light),which condition must be satisfied?

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{G M}{R}} \leq c$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{G M}{2 R}} \geq c$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}} \geq c$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}} \leq c$
