$A$ thin wire of length $L$ and uniform linear mass density $\lambda$ is bent into a circular coil. The moment of inertia of this coil about a tangential axis in the plane of the coil is:

  • A
    $\frac{3 \lambda L^3}{8 \pi^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 \lambda L^3}{4 \pi^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5 \lambda L^3}{8 \pi^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda L^3}{8 \pi^2}$
