A block $B$ is placed on block $A$. The mass of block $B$ is less than the mass of block $A$. Friction exists between the blocks, whereas the ground on which the block $A$ is placed is taken to be smooth. $A$ horizontal force $F$, increasing linearly with time begins to act on $B$. The acceleration ${a_A}$ and ${a_B}$ of blocks $A$ and $B$ respectively are plotted against $t$. The correctly plotted graph is
