Three thin uniform rods each of mass $M$ and length $L$ are placed along the three axes of a Cartesian coordinate system with one end of all the rods at the origin. The moment of inertia of the system of the rods about the $z$-axis is:

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