The density of a metal at normal pressure $P$ is $\varrho$. When it is subjected to an excess pressure $p$,the density becomes $\varrho^{\prime}$. If $K$ is the bulk modulus of the metal,then the ratio $\frac{\varrho^{\prime}}{\varrho}$ is

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