Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Tartil refers to the careful, measured, and distinct recitation of the Qur'an with proper pronunciation and articulation of each letter, as commanded in Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:4): 'And recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.' It involves neither rushing nor excessive elongation but a balanced, clear delivery that aids comprehension and reflection. This is distinct from musical performance or mere speed.
