Which of the plots shown in the figure represents speed $(v)$ of the electron in a hydrogen atom as a function of the principal quantum number $(n)$?

Consider that an electron is revolving in an excited state of Hydrogen atom with velocity $\sqrt{25.6} \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1}$. The radius of the orbit is $x \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}$. The value of $x$ is : [Take the mass of electron to be $9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$, charge of electron = $-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$ and $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$]
