In an experiment on photoelectric effect, a student plots stopping potential `V_(0)` against reciprocal of the wavelength `lamda` of the incident light for two different metals A and B. These are shown in the figure

Looking at the graphs, you can most appropriately say that :

A

Work function of metal B is greater than that of metal A

B

For light of certain wavelength falling on both metal, maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted from A will be greater than those emitted from B

C

Work function of metal A is greater than that of metal B

D

Students data is not correct
