For a stable balance,

\frac{d F}{d x}<0 i.e. negative slope in the graph F and x

At point A,

\theta is less than 90^{\circ},so slope \tan \theta is positive.

At point B,

\theta is 0^{\circ}, So slope \tan \theta is zero.

At point C,

\theta is more than 90^{\circ}. So slope \tan \theta is negative

So, at point at C  \frac{d F}{d x}<0 i.e the point of stable equilibrium.
