Answer:

pulling further back on the string

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose that because as for me answer 2 and 3 don't make sense but as for answer four I don't think that when you decrease the mass of the arrow this will increase the kinetic energy because for it to move faster I'll have to pull the string harder or to enlarge it ,so to increase the kinetic energy it is just determined by how I pull that string ."have I enlarged it or it is still loose."
