How do I go about this question?

Fig.2 shows a plot of the measured
photoelectric current versus of the
potential difference between the cathode
and the anode for light of a given
intensity and incident frequency of a
given cathode metal;
a) Explain why the current saturates
(levels off) for positive values of V at a
certain stage.
b) Roughly plot (on the same graph) the
current for incident light of twice the
frequency; provide one sentence
explanation
c) Roughly plot (on the same graph) the
current from another cathode metal of
higher work-function but with an incident
light above the threshold frequency.
