Right answer is (a) Increases with knot vectors

The best explanation: Changing the degree of the curve due to the increase of knots will change the shape of the curve globally and will not be considered. Therefore, inserting a new knot causes a new control point to be added. In fact, some existing control points are removed and replaced with new ones by corner cutting.
