List-I shows four configurations made of straight and semi-circular narrow tubes containing air. A sound wave of wavelength m enters these structures at the point and a sound detector is placed at . Between the points and , the sound travels only through the tubes. List-II contains the possible smallest values of (refer to the figures) for which the detector records maximum amplitude. Ignore effects of sharp corners. [Given ]
Choose the option that best describes the match between the entries in List-I to those in List-II.
