take the log of the dependent variable
CORRECT
multiply the dependent variable by a constant k.
Add 
multiply the independent variable by
Nothing, the data set is already linear
Explanation
Taking the log of a data set whose residual is nonrandom is effective in increasing the correleation coefficient and results in a more linear relationship.
