Solution

The correct option is A It should increase its air drag
When a cat falls down from a height, it should attempt on reducing the velocity with which it hits the ground. This can be done if there is some force which opposes its fall (the fall is basically the earth's gravitational pull on the cat). This opposing force is called the air drag. By increasing the air drag, the cat can save itself from not getting hurt.
