The potential energy of a system increases if work is done

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: An object moves from position $r_{1}$ to position $r_{2}$ under a conservative force field $\vec{F}$. The work done by the force is $W = -\int_{r_{1}}^{r_{2}} \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r}$.
Statement $II$: Any object moving from one location to another location can follow an infinite number of paths. Therefore, the amount of work done by the object changes with the path it follows for a conservative force.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The graph of potential energy $U(x)$ versus distance $x$ is shown in the following figure. The force $F$ versus distance $x$ graph will be represented by (assume that the force is conservative):
