A solid conducting sphere of radius \(R\) carries a net positive charge \(+Q\) and is in electrostatic equilibrium in free space. The electric potential is defined to be zero at an infinite distance from the sphere (\(V(\infty) = 0\)). Which of the following graphs best represents the electric potential \(V\) as a function of radial distance \(r\) from the center of the sphere?
