Solution
The correct option is D
intensity
Greater the number of electrons striking the anode of an X-ray tube, larger is the number of X-ray photons emitted which means intensity increases.
As the penetration power, frequency and wavelength will not increase when electrons striking the anode of an X-ray tube.
