Explanation:

To increase loan approval chances, reducing debt - to - income ratio (by paying off credit cards, option a) or improving credit score (option d) or increasing income (option c) help. But taking out more credit cards (option b) increases debt, hurting chances. Paying off credit cards (a) reduces debt, lowering debt - to - income ratio, a key factor for loan approval.

Answer:

a. Pay off some of his credit cards to decrease his debt - to - income ratio.
