Potential difference and power — practice question

A power supply with electromotive force (e.m.f.) $12\,\text{V}$ and internal resistance $2\,\Omega$ is connected in series to a load resistor. The load resistor is then adjusted from $0.5\,\Omega$ to $4\,\Omega$. Which graph illustrates how the power $P$ dissipated in the load resistor changes with the resistance of the load resistor?
