Three thin rods,each of length $L$ and mass $M$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z-$ axes such that one end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of this system about the $z-$ axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{2ML^2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4ML^2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{5ML^2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{ML^2}{3}$
