The correct answer is: Sharply rises initially and then gradually decreases
Initially, there will be no voltage drop across capacitor, so intensity of bulb will rise sharply and gradually voltage drop across capacitor will increase as a result voltage drop across bulb decreases, so intensity of bulb will decreases.
