    B. Add more chloride ions

    Explanation:

    Because we know based on lechatlier that any disturbance to equilibrium will make the shift act accordingly. If something is removed it wants to shift to side where it is removed to compensate for the change, if something is added it wants to move away from it to minimize the change.

    Therefore, if you add chloride ions, the equilibrium shifts to left to make more solid lead chloride.
