9702Resistance and resistivity

The diagram shows a resistor connected in series with a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and a battery. The light intensity incident on the LDR increases. What is the effect of this change on the voltmeter and ammeter readings?

  1. Avoltmeter reading decreases, ammeter reading decreases
  2. Bvoltmeter reading decreases, ammeter reading increases
  3. Cvoltmeter reading increases, ammeter reading decreases
  4. Dvoltmeter reading increases, ammeter reading increases
