The first field isso its integral around $C$ is zero and it is conservative with potential $e^{x^2}\cos (yz)$.

Along $C$, $dr=(-\sin s,\cos s,0)ds$ andsoThus $B_2$ is not conservative and cannot be a gradient on the stated punctured region.

Finally,Its integral around $C$ is zero, and it is conservative with the displayed potential. Therefore the three integrals are respectivelyand exactly $B_1,B_3$ are conservative gradient fields.
