Resistance and resistivity — practice question

Wire $PQ$ consists of three sections of different materials, with resistivities $\rho$, $2\rho$ and $3\rho$. A current $I$ flows through this composite wire, as shown. Which graph most accurately illustrates how the potential $V$ changes along the wire with distance $x$ measured from $P$?
