Answer

We can rank the three curves according to the corresponding value of $R$: $c \gt b \gt a$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the impedance of an RC circuit: $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(\frac{1}{\omega_d~C})^2}$ We can see that as $\omega_d$ increases, the value of $(\frac{1}{\omega_d~C})^2$ decreases and $Z$ approaches the value of $R$ We can rank the three curves according to the corresponding value of $R$: $c \gt b \gt a$
