A landscaper will plant two types of shrubs, hydrangeas and winter hazels, in a park. There will be no more than 244 total shrubs planted, and the number of hydrangeas planted will be at most three times the number of winter hazels planted. Which of the following systems of inequalities best represents this situation, where $h$ is the number of hydrangeas that will be planted and $w$ is the number of winter hazels that will be planted?

A

$h+w\le 244$, $h\le 3w$

B

$h+w\le 244$, $3h\ge w$

C

$h+w\ge 244$, $h\le 3w$

D

$h+w\ge 244$, $3h\ge w$
