Which of the following must be added to beginning Retained Earnings to compute ending Retained Earnings?

That's correct. Revenues increase retained earnings, expenses decrease it, and dividends decrease it. That eliminates expenses and dividends.

Since net income is the amount by which revenues are bigger than expenses, then that is an increase.
