Solution

The correct option is A Cathodes of the two cells are made from the same substance, the intensity of light used are different
The stopping potential depends on the substance of the cathode. Since it is same for A and B, the cathodes are made of the same substance. Since the current of A is greater than the current of B, the lights used are of different intensity.
Light of A is more intense.
