Answer;

a. shorten the focal length of the lens.

Explanation;

-Magnification is the ratio of the image height to the object height, which is closely related to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. Magnifying power is how much larger a given lens can make an image appear. This is a direct relationship between the focal length of the lens and the least distance of distinct vision

-Shortening the focal length of the lens increases the magnification of an image with a magnifying glass.
