In an $X$-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current $I$ hit a target (anode) at a distance $d$ from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential $V$ higher than the cathode, resulting in the emission of continuous and characteristic $X$-rays. If the filament current $I$ is decreased to $I/2$, the potential difference $V$ is increased to $2V$, and the separation distance $d$ is reduced to $d/2$, then:
$(A)$ The cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the wavelengths of the characteristic $X$-rays will remain the same.
$(B)$ The cut-off wavelength as well as the wavelengths of the characteristic $X$-rays will remain the same.
$(C)$ The cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the intensities of all the $X$-rays will decrease.
$(D)$ The cut-off wavelength will become two times larger, and the intensity of all the $X$-rays will decrease.

An $X$-ray tube produces a continuous spectrum of radiation with its shortest wavelength of $45 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Å}$. The maximum energy of a photon in the radiation in $eV$ is (in $27,500$). $(h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J-s}, c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})$.
