Solution

The correct option is A decreases
Solubility of a solute in a solvent varies with temperature. Incase of $N a C l$ , the solubility is directly proportional to the temperature.
If the temperature increases, its solubility in water increases.

In other words, more $N a C l$ can be dissolved in the same amount of solvent at higher temperature.
