Potential dividers — practice question

A conductor is made from three wires joined in series. All three wires are made from the same metal, although each has a different cross-sectional area. A current $I$ flows in the conductor. Point Y on the conductor has zero potential. Which graph best represents how the potential $V$ changes with distance along the conductor?
