The jacobian adds a power of r

Consider a solid torus of constant density , formed by revolving the disc about the z-axis, where 0 < a < b. Then the moment of inertia of the solid torus about the z-axis is

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
