Errors and uncertainties — practice question

An analogue ammeter uses a pointer that travels across a scale. After being used for a long time, the pointer no longer returns completely to zero when the current is switched off, and the meter has become less sensitive at larger currents than it is at smaller currents. Which diagram best shows the calibration graph required to give an accurate current reading?
