correct answer is: C. Photo electric emission is not possible.

The threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of light required to cause the emission of electrons from a metal surface. If the frequency of light is below the threshold frequency, no electrons will be emitted, regardless of the intensity of the light.

Option A is incorrect because photo current increases with voltage only when the frequency of light is above the threshold frequency.

Option B is incorrect because photo current decreases with voltage only when the intensity of light is above a certain level.

Option D is incorrect because photo current is not constant, but increases with increasing light intensity.
