Given below are three schematic graphs of potential energy $V(r)$ versus distance $r$ for three atomic particles : electron $\left(e^{-}\right)$, proton $\left(p^{+}\right)$and neutron $(n)$, in the presence of a nucleus at the origin $O$. The radius of the nucleus is $r_0$. The scale on the $V$-axis may not be the same for all figures. The correct pairing of each graph with the corresponding atomic particle is
