Singing In The Shower - Answer = A

The answer is A.  If you sing in a large open area, you basically only hear your voice as it is produced.  In the small area of the shower, you are also receiving reflected sound waves a very short time after you produced them.  This in effect prolongs the sounds causing a richer and fuller song.
