Solution

The correct options are
A I1+I2
B I3+I4
C I1+I3
Perpendicular Axis theorem: For a planar object, the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane is the sum of the moments of inertia of two perpendicular axes through the same point in the plane of the object.
Iz=I1+I2=I3+I4
By geometry: I1=I2&I3=I4I1=I2=I3=I4=Iz/2
Therefore
I1+I3=Iz2+Iz2=Iz
