Answer:

D. decreasing the surface area of Zn

Step-by-step explanation:

Because zinc is a reactant in the reaction, decreasing its surface area would decrease the production rate of ZnCl₂ - there are fewer particles exposed to the hydrochloric acid so there is a smaller chance of particles colliding which means there are fewer successful collisions per second.

Hope this helps!
