Correct option is (d) larger

The best I can explain: Sensitivity is the degree of disturbance due to ‘remoulding’ and the thixotropy is the process of softening of clay due to ‘remoulding’, followed by time-dependent gain in strength. So, it can be said that they are directly proportional to each other.
