Answer

The most appropriate representation is in the drawing number $(iii)$

Work Step by Step

Originally, we have a weak acid solution. - So it can't be drawing $(ii)$. Because the pH is too high. (At the start). Since this is not a polyprotic acid, it has only one equivalence point. - So it can't be drawing $(iv)$. Now, we have $(i)$ and $(iii)$. Normally, the pH of a pure weak solution is higher than the one for a strong acid (same concentrations), therefore, the most appropriate one is the $(iii)$, because it has a higher initial pH.
