When a radiation strikes a metal surface, electrons may be ejected from the metal. The maximum kinetic energy which may be acquired by an ejected electron depend on the
intensity of the radiation
source of the radiation
wavelength of the radiation
detection device of the electron

MySchool please correct this...
The max KE (or max Velo) depends on frequency or wavelength...
While increase in intensity = increase in number of photoelectrons
The maximum kinetic energy of the electron is independent of the intensity of the light at it's depends on frequency and wavelength.

The selected answer is not correct.. @myschool pls correct this .. the rightful answer should be C
Here is an explanation:
The more the intensity of the radiation the more electrons emitted from a metal surface.
