Let lA and LB be moments of inertia of a body about two axes A and B respectively. The axis A passes through the centre of mass of the body but B does not.

(a) IA < IB

(b) If IA< IB, the axes are parallel

(c) If the axes are parallel, IA< IB.

(d) If the axes are not parallel ,I≥  IB.

(c) If the axes are parallel, IA< I 

Explanation: 

From the parallel axis theorem IB = IA + IA.r² where r is the distance between the parallel axes. Hence IA < IB

Others are not necessary conditions.
