Best answer
Correct option is (a) Varying airspeed

Easiest explanation: The drag that is produced in the aircraft is increased by aerodynamic means or by varying the airspeed. The aircraft has a very wide range of descent path for the aircrafts. The aircraft will descend if the propulsive thrust is less than the airframe drag.
