What is the $SI$ unit of the radius of gyration?

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere of density $\rho$ and radius $R$ about its diameter is

$A$ circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium,so that it acquires a large moment of inertia about its geometrical axis. This is possible with:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
