   A game has a 'Loudness Equalization' option that the tester is evaluating. When enabled, the tester notices that the music and sound effects seem to have a more consistent volume level, but the overall loudness is higher. What is the most likely effect of this option?

   • AThe option applies compression to reduce the dynamic range, making quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter, which increases perceived loudness.
   • BThe option expands the dynamic range, making quiet sounds quieter and loud sounds louder.
   • CThe option only affects the music volume, not the sound effects.
   • DThe option is broken because the overall loudness should decrease.
