Use the paragraph to answer the question. You may not think earthquakes and volcanoes can go together, but they are unlikely friends, creating sensations under the earth’s surface. Most earthquakes occur because of the movement of tectonic plates previously described. Sometimes earthquakes happen below a volcano. This happens because magma, which is hot molten rock beneath the earth’s surface, pushes on rock until it breaks the rock and seeps into it. Then, the magma builds more pressure until it leaks more magma into the crack. Little earthquakes happen each time the rock breaks and lets in more magma. These little earthquakes are too small to feel. (They are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground.)

What does the underlined (in this case the sentence with parentheses) analogy mean in this paragraph?

A. The same amount of energy is required to play harmonic songs as it is to create a little earthquake.

B. Much like music that might play softly in the background, little earthquakes tremor underground without much notice.

C. When little earthquakes occur, they make sounds much like musical harmonies do.

D. The tremors from multiple little earthquakes cause energetic beats much like musical harmonies do.
