If $W_1, W_2$ and $W_3$ represent the work done in moving a particle from $A$ to $B$ along three different paths $1, 2$ and $3$ (as shown in the figure) in the gravitational field of the point mass '$m$',find the correct relation between '$W_1$','$W_2$' and '$W_3$'.
- A$W_1 < W_3 < W_2$
- B$W_1 < W_2 < W_3$
- C$W_1 = W_2 = W_3$
- D$W_1 > W_3 > W_2$
