  • A
    $(i)$ Increases continuously; $(ii)$ Decreases continuously
  • B
    $(i)$ Decreases continuously; $(ii)$ Increases continuously
  • C
    $(i)$ Increases continuously; $(ii)$ Decreases up to the group $IV$ and then increases up to the end of the period.
  • D
    $(i)$ Decreases continuously; $(ii)$ Decreases up to the group $IV$ and then increases up to the end of the period.
