It would really help to know exactly what reaction you are referring to.
An increase in activation energy would decrease the rate.
Changing the concentration of reactants will not decrease the rate
Increasing the temperature will decrease the rate if and only if the reaction is exothermic
Reducing the activation energy will not decrease the rate.
