Which of the following does not support the wave nature of light?

$A$ point source causes the photoelectric effect from a small metal plate. Which of the following curves may represent the saturation photocurrent $(I)$ as a function of the distance $(r)$ between the source and the metal?

Choose the correct option for the given statements:
Statement-$I$: The kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends on the intensity of the incident radiation.
Statement-$II$: In the photoelectric emission process,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases with increasing intensity of the incident light.

In the photoelectric effect,if a radiation of weak intensity is used instead of a radiation of strong intensity,but of the same suitable frequency,then:

Light of intensity $10^{-5} \; W m^{-2}$ falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area $2 \; cm^2$. Assuming that the top $5$ layers of sodium absorb the incident energy,estimate the time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation. The work function for the metal is given to be about $2 \; eV$. What is the implication of your answer?
