Detailed Solution

When we increase the distance between the pinhole and the screen in a pinhole camera then the size of the image changes, The brightness of the image changes, and the image remains inverted.
So, all of the above are correct.
The picture will become larger as the distance between the pinhole and the screen widens, but the image will become less brilliant as a result of the sunlight's widespread illumination. The size of an object’s image on the screen will decrease the further it is from the pinhole (see the diagram below). Distance has no bearing on the image’s clarity or focus. A larger pinhole produces a brighter image because it lets in more light, but it also causes more images to overlap.
