# A rod of length \( L \) is rotated about its center with \( I = \frac{ML^{2}}{12} \). What is the moment of inertia at a point \( \frac{L}{4} \) away from the center?

A rod of length \( L \) is rotated about its center with \( I = \frac{ML^{2}}{12} \). What is the moment of inertia at a point \( \frac{L}{4} \) away from the center?

- **A.** \[ \frac{ML^{2}}{12} \]
- **B.** \[ \frac{3ML^{2}}{4} \]
- **C.** \[ \frac{7ML^{2}}{48} \]
- **D.** \[ \frac{15ML^{2}}{29} \]
