A Correct answer
Explanation

High paging rates (pages per second) indicate the system is running low on physical memory and excessively swapping data to disk. Adding RAM (option A) directly addresses this by providing more space for active processes, reducing the need to page to disk. CPU, disk capacity, and network bandwidth do not directly cause paging - the issue is specifically memory pressure forcing the OS to constantly move pages between RAM and disk.
