Increasing the activation energy can increase the rate of a reaction.
Reducing the activation energy can increase the rate of a reaction.
There is no relationship between activation energy and rate of a reaction.
Reducing the activation energy can decrease the rate of a reaction

B.Reducing the activation energy can increase the rate of a reaction
 
This has nothing to do with enzymes. It is true that enzymes provide an alternate mechanism with a lower activation energy, but that wasn’t part of the question. The lower the activation energy, the faster the reaction is likely to be.
