As the beam area of an antenna decreases, the directivity of the antenna:

As the beam area of an antenna decreases, the directivity of the antenna: Correct Answer Increases

Beam area of an antenna and the directivity of the antenna are inversely proportional. As the beam area is reduced, the directivity increases, meaning smaller the radiating area of the transmitting antenna, more directed is the emitted energy.
