In the measurement of viscosity of liquids using terminal velocity experiment, spherical balls of same radius but having different densities are used. The variation of the terminal velocity $(v)$ with the ratio of density of spherical ball $(\sigma)$ to density of the liquid $(\rho)$, is best represented by :
