B) increasing the number of rulings without changing their spacing
C) decreasing the spacing between adjacent rulings without changing the number of rulings
D) decreasing both the wavelength and the spacing between rulings by the same factor
E) increasing the number of rulings and decreasing their spacing so the length of the grating remains the same
