The correct response is: **By raising the height of the ski jump hill**.
Increasing the height of the jump increases the potential energy of the ski jumper, as potential energy is defined by the equation \( PE = mgh \) (where \( m \) is mass, \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is height).
