Moment of inertia of a body about a give...

Moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is the rotational inertia of the body about that axis. It is respresented by `I = MK^(2)`, where `M` is mass of body and `K` is radius of gyration of the body about that axis. It is a scalar quantity, which is measured in `kg m^(2)`. when a body rotates about a given axis, and teh axis of rotates also moves, then total `K.E.` of body `= K.E.` of translation `+ K.E.` of rotation
`E = (1)/(2)mv^(2) + (1)/(2)I omega^(2)`
Which the help of the compreshension given above, choose the most apporpriate altermative for each of the following questions :
Moment of inertia of a body depends on (i) mass of body (ii) size and shape of body (iii) axis of rotation of body (iv) all the above
