The correct answer is: a dielectric is introduced into the gap between the plates of the capacitor
Current, $\mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{R}^{2}+\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^{2}}}$
If a dielectric is introduced into the gap between the plates of capacitor. Its capacitance will increase and hence, impedance of the circuit will decrease. Thus, current and hence brightness of the bulb increase.
