Correct answer is (a) Directly proportional

Explanation: Specific force is inversely proportional to the mass flow rate. Specific force is defined as the force that is expressed in terms of it momentum. It is the momentum of flow passing through a channel of cross section per unit time per unit weight and a second is the force per unit weight.
