Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

If the radius of the spherical gaussian surface is increased then the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by the surface

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Gauss's law: $\phi = \dfrac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0}$ , independent of size or shape of the surface.
Increasing the radius does not change the enclosed charge.
So the answer is (b) remains unchanged.
