To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we start with the recommendation that hikers drink 24 ounces of water per hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes, so in 10 minutes, the amount of water consumed would be:

\[
\text{Water consumed in 10 minutes} = \frac{24 \text{ ounces}}{60 \text{ minutes}} \times 10 \text{ minutes} = 4 \text{ ounces}
\]

Thus, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.

So, the correct response is **−4 ounces**.
