The C=O bond length is 120 pm in $\mathrm{CO_2}$. The moment of inertia of $\mathrm{CO_2}$ would be close to (masses of C and O are $1.9 \times 10^{-27}$ kg and $2.5 \times 10^{-27}$ kg, respectively)
(a)$1.8 \times 10^{-45}\ \mathrm{kg\,m^2}$
(b)$3.6 \times 10^{-45}\ \mathrm{kg\,m^2}$
(c)$5.4 \times 10^{-45}\ \mathrm{kg\,m^2}$
(d)$7.2 \times 10^{-45}\ \mathrm{kg\,m^2}$
