Answer

(a) increase (b) II

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that when the frequency is increased, the capacitor will start behaving like a short circuit and the intensity of the light bulb will increase. (b) Option II is correct. That is, the intensity of the light bulb increases because as the frequency becomes higher, the capacitor acts more like a short circuit, allowing more current to flow.
