    A sphere of ice at $0^o C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^o C$. The ice melts uniformly, such that shape remains spherical. After a time $‘t’$ the radius of the sphere has reduced to$r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment, which graph best depicts $r (t)$.
