Answer:

Decrease the volume to increase pressure and to increase concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the concentration will increase the number of collisions per second and therefore the rate of reaction.

A and B are wrong. You want to decrease the volume.

C is wrong. According to Boyle's Law, you can't decrease both the volume and the pressure at the same time.
