Answer :


\large\mathrm{A. Power\:\: will \:\:Increase }

Step-by-step explanation :

We know that,


\large \mathrm{ \boxed{P = I²R}}

where,

  • P = electric power
  • R = resistance
  • I = electric current

And when resistance is constant, the power of the circuit will change proportionally with the change in electric current. therefore, if current increases then the electric power of the circuit will increase too.
