The graphs below show the magnitude of the force on a particle as the particle moves along the positive $x$ axis from the origin to $x = x_1$. The force is parallel to the $x$ axis and is conservative. The maximum magnitude $F_1$ has the same value for all graphs. Rank the situations according to the change in the potential energy associated with the force,from least (or most negative) to greatest (or most positive).

  • A
    $1, 2, 3$
  • B
    $1, 3, 2$
  • C
    $3, 2, 1$
  • D
    $2, 1, 3$
