$A$ boy is standing at the center of a turntable holding two blocks in his hands. The rotational kinetic energy of the system about the axis passing through the center is $K$. When the boy extends his arms,the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation doubles. What will be the new rotational kinetic energy of the system?

  • A
    $K$
  • B
    $\frac{K}{2}$
  • C
    $2K$
  • D
    $\frac{K}{4}$
