a. Adding more maltose molecules
b. Increasing the volume of the cell
c. Adding more of the enzyme
d. Increasing the pH within the cell

I think it is 
B. increasing the volume of the cell

increasing the volume gives the reactants more space , therefore they bump into each other less and there is less reaction - Hope This Helps !! - Bree :)

Aye...not to intrude but the actual answer to this questions is Increasing the pH within the cell.  Just to make it clear. Good effort @bookworm14
