The correct response is:

"Increasing the voltage would increase the amount of current. Increasing the resistance would decrease the amount of current."

This is based on Ohm's Law, which states that \( V = I \times R \) (Voltage = Current × Resistance). According to this law, if you increase the voltage (V), the current (I) will increase, provided the resistance (R) stays constant. Conversely, if you increase the resistance, the current will decrease if the voltage remains constant.
