Solution

The correct options are
A linear velocity may be increased
B angular velocity may be increased
for constant torque

Torque = $f \times r$

so f and r should be constant

( i ) if body is not fixed at center
then
linear velocity can be increased

( ii ) if fixed then angular velocity can be increased
