The rectangular block shown in the figure is rotated about the $x-x$,$y-y$,and $z-z$ axes passing through its center of mass $O$. Its moment of inertia is:

  • A
    the same about all three axes
  • B
    maximum about the $z-z$ axis
  • C
    the same about the $x-x$ and $y-y$ axes
  • D
    maximum about the $y-y$ axis
