f_{c}=\frac{V_{o}}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\left(\frac{m \pi}{a}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{n \pi}{b}\right)^{2}}

where,  \nu _{o}=\frac{c}{\sqrt{\mu_{r} \in_{r}}}

 

f_{c}=\frac{c}{\sqrt{\mu_{r} \in_{r} \times 2}} \sqrt{\left(\frac{m \pi}{a}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{n \pi}{b}\right)^{2}}

So, f_{c} depends on ‘a’ and ‘b’ (dimensions of waveguide)

f_{c} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{r} \in_{r}}}

So, f_{c} depends upon the dielectric property of the medium in the waveguide.
Hence, the correct option is (a and b)
