Answer

C. Make the image less bright.

Work Step by Step

If the aperture is reduced in size, then less light will be allowed through the aperture. This makes the image less bright. However, we can still trace rays from the object to the image, so the size of the image remains the same and the outer part of the image is still visible. Also, reducing the aperture size will not make the image blurry.
