Answer:

Warming the acid

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when the acid is heated, the particle of the acid gain more energy (kinetic to be more precise) causing more collisions to occur, colliding even more with the particles of the magnesium ribbon. This increases the rate of disappearance of the magnesium ribbon.
