The correct response that would decrease the gravitational pull between the Sun and Earth is: if the sun was farther away from Earth.

Gravitational force is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity decreases as the distance between two masses increases. Therefore, increasing the distance between the Sun and Earth would decrease the gravitational pull between them.
