$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........

  • A
    $m r^2$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} m r^2$
  • C
    $2 m r^2$
  • D
    $3 m r^2$
