D. Making the reactant particles larger
Answer:
( °F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
Explanation:
Also there is a mental calculation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The ratio 5/9 is approximately equal 0.55555….
Subtract 32º to adapt the equivalent in the Fahrenheit scale.
Divide the degrees Celsius by 2 (multiply by 0.5).
Take 1/10 of this number (0.5 * 1/10 = 0.05) and add it to the number obtained previously.
Example: Convert 98.6º F to Centigrade.
98.6 - 32 = 66.6
66.6 * 1/2 = 33.3
33.3 * 1/10 = 3.3
33.3 + 3.3 = 36.6 which is an approximation in degrees Centigrade

The traditional method is to heat the compound in an oven, on a hot plate or over a Bunsen burner. Waters of hydration are loosely bound in the compound and can be driven off at temperatures below the melting point of the compound. So the answer is heating.
