The density of a metal at normal pressure is $\rho$. When an additional pressure $P$ is applied,its density becomes $\rho'$. If its bulk modulus is $B$,then the ratio $\frac{\rho'}{\rho}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{1 - \frac{P}{B}}$
  • B
    $1 + \frac{P}{B}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{1 + \frac{P}{B}}$
  • D
    $1 + \frac{B}{P}$
