A. $$A$$ and $$B$$ will have different intensities while $$B$$ and $$C$$ will have different frequencies
B. $$B$$ and $$C$$ will have different intensities while $$A$$ and $$C$$ will have different frequencies
C. $$A$$ and $$B$$ will have different intensities while $$A$$ and $$C$$ will have equal frequencies
D. $$B$$ and $$C$$ will have equal intensities while $$A$$ and $$B$$ will have same frequencies  
Answer :   $$B$$ and $$C$$ will have equal intensities while $$A$$ and $$B$$ will have same frequencies
Solution :
From the graph it is clear that $$A$$ and $$B$$ have the same stopping potential and therefore, the same frequency. Also, $$B$$ and $$C$$ have the same intensity.
