Answer 1

The general approach to alter the parameter to reach the base case, especially in recursive functions, is often through **decrementing the parameter**. This is typically done by reducing the parameter value (such as subtracting one) until it reaches the base case condition.

So, the correct response is:

**decrementing the parameter**.
