Solution

The answer to your question depends on the pitch at which the blades are locked.

If the blades are locked at a low pitch, the RPM would likely increase because the propeller would be biting less air. This could potentially cause the RPM to slowly increase to the red line (option a).

If the blades are locked at a high pitch, the RPM would likely decrease because the propeller would be biting more air, causing more resistance (option b).

The RPM would not change whenever engine power changed (option c) because the pitch of the blades is locked and cannot adjust to changes in engine power.

The RPM would not fluctuate (option d) because again, the pitch of the blades is locked and cannot adjust to changes in air density, altitude, or other factors that might cause fluctuation.

So, without knowing the pitch at which the blades are locked, it's difficult to definitively answer your question. However, options a and b are the most likely scenarios.
