(b)

Explanation:

Rotational inertia of a cylinder of mass M and radius R rolling around cylinder axis or symmetry axis which passes through its center of mass is given by the expression.

I_(cm)=1/2MR^2 ......(1)

=> For same mass of two cylinders

I_(cm)propR^2

Implies that cylinder with larger radius will have larger rotational inertia.
