Answer

(d) the charge increases.

Work Step by Step

The voltage across the capacitor will remain constant as it is connected to voltage source. As dielectric is placed opposite charge will get induced on its surface which will create electric field opposite to initial electric field due to charged plate. As voltage is constant, charge on capacitor plate will increase.
