"Music Is Like a Legal Drug for Athletes," Says Costas

"Music is like a legal drug for athletes," says Costas Karageorghis, Ph.D., one of the world's leading authorities on music and exercise. By this, he MOST likely meant:

A) Music creates an unrealistic state of euphoria, serving much like an amphetamine drug
B) Music improves endurance significantly while reducing the athlete's perception of effort, serving much like performance-enhancing drugs
C) Music reduces the anxiety and stress of competition, serving much like a depressant drug
D) Athletes can become addicted to listening to music
