Discussion
An AM receiver produces distorted audio only on the loudest passages, and the distortion disappears if the volume at the transmitter is reduced.
The most likely cause is
Answer: D
Distortion appearing only on peaks and curable by reducing the transmitter's audio level points to over-modulation: the envelope is being driven past its limit on the loudest passages. A gain control failure would distort at all levels or produce level-dependent noise. An image interferer would appear as a second programme or a whistle rather than as peak distortion. Diagonal clipping is a receiver fault and would not respond to the transmitter's audio level in this way.
