C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option, as the statement is false. The loudness of sound is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of vibrations of the sound producing object. If the amplitude of vibrations is doubled. then the loudness will become four times and if the amplitude of vibrations is halved, then the loudness will become one-fourth.
