I think, All the options are not satisfied. The correct answer will be directly proportional to the cube of the diameter of vanes.

Discharge in centrifugal pump (Q) = pi * D * b * v.
where D = dia of the impeller at the inlet,
b = width of the impeller at the inlet
v = velocity of flow at the inlet.
So, according to the formula, discharge is directly proportional to Diameter of the impeller.
where D = dia of the impeller at the inlet,
b = width of the impeller at the inlet
v = velocity of flow at the inlet.
So, according to the formula, discharge is directly proportional to Diameter of the impeller.

As per Affinity Laws:
Speed is constant,
Q1/Q2 = (D1/D2)^3.
So, the answer is Discharge is inversely proportional to the cube of the diameter.
Speed is constant,
Q1/Q2 = (D1/D2)^3.
So, the answer is Discharge is inversely proportional to the cube of the diameter.

Discharge of centrifugal pump is Q = area* velocity of flow.
Q = (pi)(D1)(B1)(VF1) = (PI)(D2)(B2)(VF2).
Where B1 and B2 are width of impeller at inlet and outlet and B1 and B2 are diameter of impeller at inlet and outlet and VF1 and VF2 are velocity of flow at inlet and outlet.
Q = (pi)(D1)(B1)(VF1) = (PI)(D2)(B2)(VF2).
Where B1 and B2 are width of impeller at inlet and outlet and B1 and B2 are diameter of impeller at inlet and outlet and VF1 and VF2 are velocity of flow at inlet and outlet.
