Solution

The correct option is C increasing the temperature of the solution
According to Van't Hoff's ideal gas equation, $π V = n R T$

Thus, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the volume.

Thus, osmotic pressure can be increased by increasing temperature.

Option A is correct.
