For a site classified as soft soil rather than rock, the corner period of the plateau generally
Answer: C
Correct answer: moves to a longer period
A soft deposit filters the motion, amplifying the longer-period components and attenuating the short ones, so the peak of the spectrum shifts to longer periods and the plateau extends further out.
