Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Calculate the number of radial nodes using the

Number of radial nodes =n--1

=3-0-1=2

Radial nodes= number of cuts on x-axis ( r).
The curve should start from zero. It can be positive or negative.
Size of the curve increases after touching the x- axis every time .

By keeping all this, we get the following curve:
 

Therefor corresponding graph is (C)

Hence, answer is (3)
