Four identical lead balls with large mass are con- nected by rigid but very light rods in the square configuration shown in the preceding figure. The balls are rotated about the three labeled axes. Which of the following correctly ranks the rotational inertia $$\(I\)$$ of the balls about each axis?

A.
\(I_{\mathrm{B}}> I_{\mathrm{A}}=I_{\mathrm{C}}\)
B.
\(I_{\mathrm{A}}> I_{\mathrm{C}}=I_{\mathrm{B}}\)
C.
\(I_{\mathrm{C}}> I_{\mathrm{A}}> I_{\mathrm{B}}\)
D.
\(I_{\mathrm{C}}> I_{\mathrm{A}}=I_{\mathrm{B}}\)
