A

The photocurrent increases linearly with intensity.

B

The photoelectric current decreases with intensity.

C

The photoelectric current remains constant regardless of intensity.

D

The photocurrent becomes zero at higher intensities.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The photocurrent increases linearly with intensity, indicating that the number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light, as stated in the NCERT context.
