The correct answer is:
first increases and then decreases
Moment of inertia
Where mass of insect,
and distance of insect from centre.
Clearly, as the insect moves along the diameter of the disc, MI first decreases, then increases.
By conservation of angular momentum, angular speed first increases, then decreases.
