Answer:

(a) increasing resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

TIME CONSTANT FOR RL CIRCUIT : In RL circuit resistor and inductor are present only time constant for RL circuit is given by

time constant =
(L)/(R) From this expression it is clear that is we increase the value of resistance then denominator value increases and so the overall value decreases because we know that in a fraction when denominator value is increase then overall value is decreases so option (a) will be the correct option
