Answer:
The hoop
Explanation:
We need to define the moment of inertia of the different objects, that is,
DISK:
HOOP:
SOLID SPHERE:
HOLLOW SPHERE
If we have the same acceleration for a Torque applied, then
The greatest momement of inertia is for the hoop, therefore will require the largest torque to give the same acceleration
