Diffraction at a Single Slit

In diffraction experiment, from a single slit, the angular width of the central maxima does not depend upon

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Angular width of central maximum $= \dfrac{2\lambda}{a}$ .
It has no dependence on the slit-to-screen distance.
So the answer is (b).
