Refer to the drawing of a valve motor control circuit (see figure below) for a valve that is currently fully closed and has a 10-second stroke time.

The operator takes the control switch to OPEN momentarily and the valve begins to open.
Five seconds later, the operator takes the switch to CLOSE momentarily and then releases the switch.
Which one of the following describes the valve response after the switch is released?
A. The valve will stop opening and remain partially open.
