Detailed Solution

According to Gauss Law of electrostatics electric flux through a closed surface is given by, Flux =  Eds=qenϵ0

Clearly, fl ux is directly proportional to charges enclosed by the surface.
(1) Qualitatively, fl ux is defined as number of field lines crossing the surface area perpendicularly.

Question Image

Even for a bigger area same number of field lines are crossing. Thus, flux do not depend on area of closed surface.

(3) and (4)

Question Image

The electric field and angle between E and ds
will compensate each other in such a way that, flux will only depend on enclosed charge.
