The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal widths, and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is $I_0$. If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be

  • A
    $I_0$
  • B
    $I_0 / 4$
  • C
    $I_0 / 2$
  • D
    $4I_0$
