Why can't removing the feedback resistor be an option. Since Gain = Rf/Ri.

And Rf = ohms if we remove the feedback resistor Rf = 0. So Rf is reduced so gain will also be reduced. But why is't that a correct option.

Acctually the diagram is in inverting configuration. So it has gain equation Gain= -Rf/Rin. It means gain inversly proportional to Rin. Therefore answer is C.

Gain of inverting amplifier is inversely proportional to input resistance. So, gain decreases when input resistance is increase.

@Dushyanth.

Removing feedback resistor will make Rf = Infinity whereas shorting it will make feedback resistor Rf=0.

In inverting amp gain is-rf/ri if we decrease gain ri will increase.

Gain of an inverting amplifier= -Rf/Ri, therefore the answer is "C".
