Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

An ice-hockey puck moves over a horizontal, frictionless ice-rink surface. It undergoes an inelastic collision with a wall that is at right angles to its direction of travel, and then travels back along the same path in the opposite direction. Which graph shows how the momentum $p$ varies with time $t$ for the puck?
