a is the correct choice.

consider c for one second: why are cokes bottles filled to the neck?
decreasing temp.
It is NOT D) decreasing temperature. I just did my test and it was wrong.
The choices I got for this question were:
•decreasing temperature (which was wrong)
•decreasing pressure
•decreasing surface area
•decreasing solute concentration

By comparing the asker's choices and mine it leaves the choice decreasing surface area. Feel free to choose it.
