Detailed Solution

The intensity of incident light varies with the distance from the source as follows:

I  1d2 , d is the distance from the source and I is the intensity.

so current (i) also varies in a similar way as that of intensity as current is directly proportional to the intensity of the light.

i.e. i 1d2.

Hence, the curve d represents the above relation between current and distance.
