Answer:
B) Gets smaller
Explanation:
The difference of phase between current and voltage in a AC circuit is the phase angle and it depends on the value of Z ( circuit impedance)
Z = R + X where R is the resistive component and X the reactance component, which is due either to a presence of an inductor or a capacitor. In any case the total impedance depends on R the resistive, and the phase angle φ is:
tan⁻¹ φ = X/R
Have a look to a pure capactive circuit (we are talking about AC current) in this case current leads voltage by 90⁰. If we add a resistor in the circuit the current still will lead a voltage but in this condition the phase angle will be smaller,
If R increase, X/R decrease and tan⁻¹ φ also decrease

i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.
hope this helps!
