Interference — practice question

Coherent light with a constant wavelength falls normally onto a double slit. Interference fringes appear on a screen positioned at a fixed distance from the double slit. The screen is parallel to the double slit. The slit separation is changed. Which graph best represents how the interference-fringe spacing $x$ varies with slit separation $a$?
