Suppose we're check/raising with a weak range against someone with a high c-bet percentage. To adjust, they will need to be folding less often. There are three ways they can achieve this:

1. Add strong hands to their range
2. Remove weak hands from their range
3. Call or raise with worse hands

Because most or all of their strong hands are already in their c-betting range, #1 is unlikely. A combination of #2 and #3 are how the adjustment (if one is even made) is likely to go down. More on adjustments and counter-adjustments is coming up in future installments.
