Consider the pin-jointed truss shown in the figure. Influence line is drawn for the axial force in the member G-I, when a unit load travels on the bottom chord of the truss. Identify the CORRECT influence line from the following options:

Note: Positive value corresponds to tension and negative value corresponds to compression in the member.
