Figure below shows a shampoo bottle in a perfect cylindrical shape. In a simple experiment, the stability of the bottle filled with different amount of shampoo volume is observed. The bottle is tilted from one side and then released. Let the angle $\theta$ depicts the critical angular displacement resulting, in the bottle losing its stability and tipping over. Choose the graph correctly depicting the fraction $f$ of shampoo filled $(f=1$ corresponds to completely filled) versus the tipping angle $\theta$
