#"option b is true."#

Explanation:

#"The energy saved by a capacitor can be calculated using the formula " E=1/2*C V^2#

#"Where C is Capacitance of capacitor and V is Voltage of Capacitor.."#

#E prop V^2#

#"The Energy saved in Capacitor is directly proportional with square of the voltage of Capacitor."#

#"new voltage of capacitor is v+0.2V=1.2V, if voltage increase by 20%."#

#"now, energy saved in capacitor is " E_1 prop(1.2V)^2 prop 1.44V^2#

#"increased energy is 1.44-1=0.44"#

#"rate of increased 0.44/1=0.44 "#

#44 %#
