Decrease the particle size of the solute because the mass of the solute would be greater. Increase the particle size of the solute because there would be a greater surface area exposed to the solvent. Increase the particle size of the solute because there would be a greater surface area exposed to the solvent. Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide. Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide. Increase the particle size of the solute because there would be a greater attraction between the solute and solvent particles.

To increase the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solution, the most effective action you could take is to:
Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide.
When you reduce the particle size, there is a greater surface area for the solvent to interact with the solute, leading to more frequent collisions and quicker dissolution. The other options you've listed would not effectively increase the rate of dissolution.
