A rod of length $L$ is held vertically on a smooth horizontal surface. The top end of the rod is given a gentle push. At a certain instant of time, when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with horizontal the velocity of $COM$ of the rod is $v_0$ . The velocity of the end of the rod in contact with the surface at that instant is 

  • A

    ${v_0}\cot \theta $

  • B

    ${v_0}\cos \theta $

  • C

    ${v_0}\sin \theta $

  • D

    ${v_0}\tan \theta $
