$A$ rigid body of mass $m$ is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis at a distance '$a$' from the center of mass $G$. The radius of gyration about an axis passing through $G$ is $K$. The rotational kinetic energy of this body about the new parallel axis will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}mK^2\omega^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}ma^2\omega^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}m(a^2 + K^2)\omega^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}m(a + K^2)\omega^2$
