The figure shows the variation of the gravitational acceleration $a_g$ of four planets with the radial distance $r$ from the center of the planet for $r \ge R$ (where $R$ is the radius of the planet). Plots $1$ and $2$ coincide for $r \ge R_2$,and plots $3$ and $4$ coincide for $r \ge R_4$. The sequence of the planets in the descending order of their densities is:

  • A
    $1, 2, 3, 4$
  • B
    $4, 3, 2, 1$
  • C
    $2, 1, 4, 3$
  • D
    $1, 2, 4, 3$
