Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to decrease Saturn's oblateness, we need to decrease its equatorial radius and increase its rotation period. This will result in a more spherical shape with less flattening at the poles. Therefore, the best choice is C: decrease the radius (decrease oblateness) and increase the rotation period (improve the sphericity of its shape).
