Answer: The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The small holes in the tiles do a good job of absorbing the sound waves. As the pressure of the sound wave hits the tile, it moves to catch the wave and not keep it moving to the other side.

The idea is that if some sound energy goes into one of the little
holes, it never comes out !
