Dear student,
option (c) is correct because, the statement is quite not right.Since the rate determining step in SN1 reaction does not depend on concentration of nucleophile, hence it doesnt increases the rate of reaction . However there can be a competition among the different available nucleophiles (I-,Br- in this case) but even then, I- being a weak nucleoplile wont compete with Cl- for binding with the carbocation.
