A thin uniform rod, pivoted at $O$, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$, as shown in the figure. At time, $t =0$, a small insect starts from $O$ and moves with constant speed $v$ with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at $t = T$ and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque $(|\vec{\tau}|)$ on the system about $O$, as a function of time is best represented by which plot?
