How can the minimum wavelength of X-rays be reduced further?

Correct answer A. Increasing the potential difference between the cathode and the target

Explanation

The shortest X-ray wavelength is λmin = hc/eV, so raising the accelerating potential difference V between cathode and target lowers it.
