In practically, if superheat temp is 5- 6 ° cel then cooling effect will increase and compressor work needs more compare than increase Colling effect. So COP reduces.

If the degree of superheat less than 5 then work input negligible. So cop increases.

D is the right answer as refrigeration effect is increasing as well as work input (because it is the function of inlet temperature to the compressor). Also it increases or decreases depending upon refrigerant.

Due to the superheating refrigerating effect (R.E) increases and also work done in the compressor increases. But R.E. is less compared to w/D so the net effect is to have decreased in cop.

If Super heating or sub cooling or both increases in refrigeration system then refrigerating effect get increases and vice versa and COP = R.E/W.

So super heating increases COP.

D because it depends on refrigerant.

In some cases, it increases and some cases decrease.

The answer is d.

Because for R12 refrigerant it increase but for ammonia, it decreases.

Depends on the refrigerant for r-12 it will increase and for ammonia it will decrease.

It may increase or decrease depends upon range of pressure and degree of superheating.
