Let $X$ and $Y$ be continuous random variables with probability density functions $P_X(x)$ and $P_Y(y)$, respectively. Further, let $Y=X^2$ and $P_X(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1, & x \in(0,1] \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$.

Which one of the following options is correct?

A
$P_Y(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{y}}, & y \in(0,1] \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$
B
$P_Y(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{lc}1, & y \in(0,1] \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$
C
$P_Y(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1.5 \sqrt{y}, & y \in(0,1] \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$
D
$P_Y(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}2 y, & y \in(0,1] \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$
