With an increase in the amount of flap deployment, the stalling angle of a wing
- remains the same.
- increases.
- decreases.
Explanation
Trailing-edge flaps increase camber, raising the maximum lift coefficient but causing the airflow to separate at a lower angle of attack. Consequently the stalling angle decreases as flap deployment increases, even though the stalling speed is reduced.

Flap extension elongates the chord and increases the effective AOA. Hence even if the angle of the wing hasn't changed, wing is closer to a stalling angle. Linked image for reference: https://cdn.boldmethod.com/images/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/how-flaps-work/aoa-small.jpg
