Im thinking if I can obtain parallel rays after the light rays pass through the convex lens by moving the lens closer to the light bulb or by having a lens with a larger focal length. Which method is right?

As drawn you can move the (point) light source towards the lens to produce a parallel beam of light when the light source is at the foal point of the lens.
This then tells you that you need a lens of larger focal length if you want to produce a parallel beam without changing the lens to light source distance.
I cannot tell you which method is right because they both produce the required parallel beam of light
