Affects on Mcrit

What's up guys. Came across this question and it stumped me.

Which of these increases Mcrit:

A) decrease wing area
B) decrease sweep back
C) increase load factor
D) aft movement of CG

Narrowed down to A and D but can't differentiate.
I know if you decrease airfoil thickness Mcrit increases but A doesn't really suggest thickness. Aft CG movement make sense as less work required by wing to compensate for downforce produced by the horizontal tail

Thanks in advance
