Option A: INVALID
This statement is clearly misrepresented as it does not bother on the volume, Magnitude or extent to which the spoken messages must not be louder or lower as the case may be.
Option B: INVALID
Musical qualities and spoken messages are two separate things. Here, the quality could come in terms of beat on the recordings and lot more while the spoken messages could be informative , inspiring and strongly worded.
Option C: INVALID

Option D: VALID
