Ryland Mayer · Answer 1

I think the answer is A - increasing the temperature.

Johnathon Floyd · Answer 2

A - Increasing the temperature.

Explanation:

Raising the reaction temperature by 10 °C can double or triple the reaction rate. This is due to an increase in the number of particles that have the minimum energy required. The reaction rate decreases with a decrease in temperature.
