Which energy graph represents the nonspontaneous transition of graphite into diamond?

A
Image with description A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts low on the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down a short distance, and levels out.
B
Image with description A graph with reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down sharply, and levels out below the initial starting point.
C
Image with description A graph with reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a moderate amount, then curves down sharply to level out below the initial starting point.
D
Image with description A graph with reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a small amount, then curves down to level out below the initial starting point.
