Correct answer
BFig (b)

Step-by-step explanation

As we know, impulse is the area under the curve of the force vs. time graph. So, analysing each figure area under curve.

a A1=12×1.0×0.5=14 N‐s

b A2=0.5×2=1 N‐s

c A3=12×1×0.75=38 N‐s

d A4=12×2×0.5=12 N‐s

From above calculations, area under curve in figure (b) is maximum. Thus, fig (b) impulse is highest.
