The figure below shows a shampoo bottle in a perfect cylindrical shape. In a simple experiment,the stability of the bottle filled with different amounts of shampoo volume is observed. The bottle is tilted from one side and then released. Let the angle $\theta$ depict the critical angular displacement resulting in the bottle losing its stability and tipping over. Choose the graph that correctly depicts the fraction $f$ of shampoo filled ($f=1$ corresponds to completely filled) versus the tipping angle $\theta$.
