The load stress of a section can be reduced by
decreasing the lever arm
increasing the total perimeter of bars
replacing larger bars by greater number of small bars
replacing smaller bars by greater number of greater bars
none of these.

I think Option A is right.

If we reduce lever arm, it means changing the structural geometry which will ultimately reduce the loads, so there is no point in stress reduction while the overall load has changed.

Option C is correct, Having considered the same section geometry and same loads applied, stress will develop in reinforced section which is to resisted by reinforcing bars, if diameter is larger then stress concentration will be more in the given section, if we replace it small dia bars, it will better distribute loads over the section hence stress concentration will reduce.

You are right, Thanks @Samm.

Yes, you are right @Samm.

Not load stress it should be bond stress.
