A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct? 

- AIf the force is applied normal to the circumference at point P, then is zero
- BIf the force is applied tangentially at point S, then 0 but the wheel never climbs the step
- CIf the force is applied at point P tangentially, then decreases continuously as the wheel climbs
- DIf the force is applied normal to the circumference at point X, then is constant
