Dear student ...The metal having less work function is suitable for photocell i.e.,A (2eV) because when work function is less , less energy is required to excite electrons and photo electric current is produced easily .....With Regards....Mahima...(askIITians forum expert )

The range of energy of visible light is 1.8ev to 3.1ev . So metal having work function of 2ev can be used in photocell ..
