A
By reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system

Music can reduce stress by calming the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's fight-or-flight response. This can lead to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, as well as an increase in relaxation and feelings of well-being.
