   A game studio is developing a multiplayer battle royale game. The audio team wants players to be able to locate enemies by sound. They implement a system where footsteps and gunshots are placed in 3D space. During testing, a player reports that they cannot tell if an enemy is above or below them on a multi-story building. The tester investigates and finds that the game uses a standard stereo panning system without any height-based audio cues. Which solution would best address this issue?

   • AImplement a head-related transfer function (HRTF) system to provide vertical audio cues.
   • BIncrease the volume of all footsteps and gunshots to make them easier to hear.
   • CUse a simple volume attenuation based on the vertical distance between the player and the sound source.
