The correct answer is:
unchanged
In photoelectric emission, maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons does not depend upon the intensity of incident radiation. It depends upon the frequency of incident radiation. Hence, when intensity of incident radiation is reduced to one-fourth, then maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons remains unchanged.
