An electron beam is accelerated by a potential difference \(V\) to hit a metallic target to produce \({X}\)-ray. It produces continuous as well as characteristic \({X}\)-rays. If \(\lambda_{\text{min}}\) is the smallest possible wavelength of \({X}\)-ray in the spectrum, the variation of \(\log \lambda_{\text{min}}\) with \(\log V\) is correctly represented in:
