@Vivek.
Please see the T-S diagram of Carnot cycle.
According to you that heat transfer during the cycle will be reduced as well as efficiency will be reduced.
Your statement is correct for Reversed Carnot cycle where we need to reduced heat transfer to achieve greater efficiency.

Efficiency of carnot engine is increased by decreasing the lower temp and increasing higher temperature but more effects on efficiency of cannot cycle by decreasing temperature as compare increase temperature of cannot engine.

A more effective way to increase the efficiency of the Carnot engine is decreasing lower temperature. But you can also say that by increasing higher temperature you may obtain increasing in efficiency too.

Actually efficiency of Carnot cycle depends upon the temperature of the sink so if temperature of the sink decrease efficiency increase or efficiency increase by increase temperature of source.

The efficiency of the Carnot cycle may be increased by increasing the highest temperature and decreasing the lowest temperature.

The efficiency of Carnot cycle = 1-T2(LOWER TEMP)/T1(HIGHER TEMP).
So from this formula, you can use as respective terms.

The correct answer is A according to option.
Max efficiency obtain decrease lower temp and increase higher temperature.
Max efficiency obtain decrease lower temp and increase higher temperature.

Actually the efficiency of carnot engine is increased by decreasing the lower temp not increasing higher temperature.

The Efficiency of Carnot cycle is increased by 'decreasing the lower temperature', hopefully, this helps you.
