The angular momentum of an object depends on which of these sets of factors?
A) the mass of the object and how fast it is spinning, but not how the mass is distributed or the local gravitational field
B) the mass of the object, how the mass is distributed, how fast the object is spinning, and how strong a gravitational field the object is in
C) how fast the object is spinning, but not how fast it is spinning, how the mass is distributed, or the local gravitational field
D) the mass of the object, how the mass is distributed, and how fast the object is spinning, but not the local gravitational field
