To decrease the pH of a base in a solution at equilibrium, you would want to decrease the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in the solution.
Therefore, the correct response is:
decreasing the concentration of OH⁻ ions.
This would shift the equilibrium towards the formation of more hydronium ions (H₃O⁺), which would lower the pH.
