$A$ uniform spherical object of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a moment of inertia $I$. It rolls down an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ without slipping. What is its acceleration?

  • A
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + I/MR^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + MR^2/I}$
  • C
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 - I/MR^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{g \sin \theta}{1 - MR^2/I}$
