Photoelectric effect experiments are performed using three different metal plates $\mathrm{p}, \mathrm{q}$ and $\mathrm{r}$ having work functions $\phi_p=2.0 \mathrm{eV}, \phi_q=2.5 \mathrm{eV}$ and $\phi_r=3.0 \mathrm{eV}$, respectively. A light beam containing wavelengths of $550 \mathrm{~nm}, 450 \mathrm{~nm}$ and $350 \mathrm{~nm}$ with equal intensities illuminates each of the plates. The correct I-V graph for the experiment is [Take $h c=1240 \mathrm{eV} \mathrm{nm}$ ]
