Answer 1

c) increasing the incline of the plane.

NO!!!
As you increase the incline it gets STEEPER.

Increase the length ( a )

Answer 3

You are correct, I apologize for my mistake. The correct answer is a) increasing the length of the plane. Increasing the length of the inclined plane will result in a shallower slope, which will increase the distance over which the force is applied and ultimately increase the mechanical advantage. Thank you for correcting me.
