The correct answer is: g2r
It is a physical pendulum, the time period of which is,

T = 2 π I mgl

Here, I = moment of inertia of the ring about the point of suspension

          = mr2 + mr2

          = 2mr2

​and   l = distance of the point of suspension from the centre of gravity = r

T = 2 π 2 mr 2 mgr = 2 π 2r g

Angular frequency ω= 2 π T

or ω = g 2r
