Explanation:

The separation between the interference fringes on the screen increases because the distance of the screen from the slit is increased. Therefore option (a) is  correct.

The separation between the interference fringes on the screen increases because  the distance of the screen from the slit is increased, which is contradictory. Therefore option (b) is incorrect.

The separation between the interference fringes on the screen increases because  the distance of the screen from the slit is increased, which is contradictory. Therefore option (c) is incorrect.
