On which factor does the number of interference fringes in a given width of a diffraction peak depend?

The phenomenon of diffraction of light was discovered by

If the measured angular separation between the second minimum to the left of the central maximum and the third minimum to the right of the central maximum is $30^{\circ}$ in a single slit diffraction pattern recorded using $628 \ nm$ light,then the width of the slit is . . . . . . $\mu m$.

Which of the following are true for a single slit diffraction?
$(A)$ Width of central maxima increases with increase in wavelength keeping slit width constant.
$(B)$ Width of central maxima increases with decrease in wavelength keeping slit width constant.
$(C)$ Width of central maxima increases with decrease in slit width at constant wavelength.
$(D)$ Width of central maxima increases with increase in slit width at constant wavelength.
$(E)$ Brightness of central maxima increases for decrease in wavelength at constant slit width.

Assertion : Diffraction takes place for all types of waves,mechanical or non-mechanical,transverse or longitudinal.
Reason : Diffraction effects are perceptible only if the wavelength of the wave is comparable to the dimensions of the diffracting device.
