How else would the nose come up if the tail isn't pushing down harder? It's A, decreasing the tailplane incidence loads the tail down more, so the tail drops and the nose pitches up. Heads up though, the other two options are basically saying the same thing, raising and increasing the incidence, so one of them looks like a typo.
