Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

Which of the following results to reduced
separation of bright fringes from a double
slit?
A. increasing distance to screen
B. increasing wavelength
C. increasing separation of slits
D. all of the above
