Answer:

D: Increasing temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

From collision theory, we know that the more the increase in collisions, the faster the rate of the chemical reaction.

Now, the amount of solid solute in a solvent will change with a corresponding change in temperature. What we mean is that, the higher the temperature increases, the higher the number of collisions between the solvent molecules as well as leading to an increase in the solute particles which will mean an increase in the amount of the solid solute dissolved. The correct answer is option D.
