The density of a metal at normal pressure is $\rho$. Its density when it is subjected to an excess pressure $p$ is $\rho^{\prime}$. If $B$ is the Bulk modulus of the metal,the ratio $\frac{\rho^{\prime}}{\rho}$ is:

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