The cathode of a photoelectric cell is changed such that the work function changes from `(W_(1) to W_(2) (W_(2) gt W_(1))`. If the current before and after change are `I_(1)` and `I_(2)`, all other conditions remaining unchanged , then (assuming `hv gt W_(2)`)

A

`I_(1) = I_(2)`

B

`I_(1) lt I_(2)`

C

`I_(1) gt I_(2)`

D

`I_(1) lt I_(2) lt 2 I_(1)`
