Solution

The correct option is D first decreases and then increases
Path difference at P =ydD.
As D increases, the path difference decreases. As the path length decreases from λ to λ/2, the intensity at P decreases from maximum to minimum. However, as the path length decreases from λ/2 to 0, the intensity at P increases from minimum to maximum again.
