This question asks which VTC curve corresponds to the smallest Wp/Wn ratio, given multiple inverter widths and the same channel length and Wps.
Option: The right-most one. Consider what lowering Wp/Wn means: the p-channel is relatively weaker compared to the n-channel. When the p transistor is weaker, the inverter switches on the output (pulls down) earlier as Vin increases, and the VTC shifts toward lower Vin values. In the plot, the right-most curve represents a case where the transition occurs earlier (closer to Vin = 0), which would actually correspond to a larger Wp/Wn, not the smallest. Therefore this option misattributes the shift direction.
Option: The left-most one. This is the curve that transitions at a lower Vin, indicating the n-transistor is stronger relative to the p-transistor, i.e., a smaller Wp/Wn ratio. A reduced p-channel drive (smaller Wp) compared with the n-channel drive causes the inverter to switch earlier as Vin rises, moving the VTC toward the left. Hence this curve matches the smallest Wp/Wn.
Option: The middle one with beta ratio of 1. A beta ratio of 1 means Wp and Wn are balanced, giving a symmetric or mid-point threshold around Vin ≈ Vdd/2. This is not the smallest Wp/Wn; it represents a relatively strong p relative to n (or at least balanced), depending on the exact device parameters, but not the minimal ratio scenario.
Option: More information is required to determine the answer. The figure provides the relative positions of the curves for different beta_p/beta_n values (and thus different Wp/Wn ratios). Since you can infer the ordering from the curves, no additional data is strictly necessary to identify the smallest ratio here.
