Explanation:

To determine what increases serotonin production, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Reducing activity level is not associated with increasing serotonin; in fact, physical activity can help, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Low - quality carbs do not contribute to serotonin production. High - quality carbs are the ones that can help as they provide the necessary nutrients for the process. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: Consuming high - quality carbs (like whole grains, fruits, etc.) provides the building blocks and energy for the brain to produce serotonin. This is a correct mechanism.
• Option D: Increasing stress level generally decreases serotonin production or disrupts its regulation, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Consuming high - quality carbs
