A
By stimulating the release of endorphins, which have mood-boosting and pain-relieving properties.

Music's therapeutic effects are primarily attributed to the release of endorphins, natural painkillers and mood enhancers produced by the body. These endorphins interact with opioid receptors in the brain, reducing the perception of pain and promoting feelings of well-being.
