The correct answer is:

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis according to which all matters have both particle and wave nature. where h= plank's constant, p=momentum, λ= wavelength of particle. This type of graph is called a rectangular hyperbola. As λ1p we will have a rectangular hyperbola.

λ=hpλ1p

λp=h (constant)

So, the plot is a rectangular hyperbola.
