The correct answer is:

The potential is constant inside the sphere as the electric field is zero inside the sphere. So, the value is given by 

V=Q4πε0R for r<R

The potential at the surface is 

V=Q4πε0R

The potential outside the sphere starts decreasing and is given by the formula 

V=Q4πε0r for r>R
