$A$ thin uniform rod is pivoted at $O$. It rotates in a horizontal plane with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. At $t = 0$,a small insect starts moving from $O$ towards the other end with a constant speed $v$ relative to the rod. It reaches the other end at $t = T$ and stops. The angular velocity $\omega$ of the system remains constant. Which of the following graphs best represents the magnitude of the torque $|\tau|$ at $O$ as a function of time $t$?
