If the dissolution is an endothermic process, decreasing the temperature would promote the reverse reaction since it is exothermic. So yes, I would agree that B is the answer. C is the opposite and A and D have nothing to do with this.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Also, lowering the temperature would allow the solution to begin to create a precipitate..
