(T) diagram

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, D
Solution:

By symmetry and stick counting: (P) has more stick mass to the right, symmetric top-bottom - x > 0, y = 0 (A).

(T) is symmetric about both axes - x = 0, y = 0 (D). (R) has y < 0 and (Q), (S) do not match the stated combinations - (B), (C) wrong.
