The correct answer is:
ring

Say, the radius of gyration of the body is .
The mass is .
The height is .
The radius of the body is .
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, or
Note: It is independent of the mass of the rolling body.
For a ring,
So, the speed of the ring becomes,
For a solid cylinder,
For a solid sphere,
Among the given three bodies, the solid sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane.
