Multiple torques and rotation

Problem

A disk is initially rotating clockwise around a fixed axis with angular speed ω0. At time t=0, the two forces of F1=20N and F2=10N are exerted on the disk as shown in the figure below.
Which graph could show the angular velocity of the disk over time?
Consider counterclockwise as the positive direction.
