Question: Structural engineers often utilize tuned mass dampers to mitigate dynamic responses in tall buildings. Which statement accurately describes the purpose and function of a tuned mass damper?

A) Tuned mass dampers add extra mass to structures, increasing their stability.

B) These dampers are designed to amplify natural frequencies, enhancing structural resilience.

C) Tuned mass dampers reduce vibrations caused by dynamic loads, particularly wind-induced oscillations.

D) These dampers are used to alter the fundamental frequency of a structure, improving seismic performance.

E) Tuned mass dampers are ineffective in reducing dynamic responses and are mainly decorative features in buildings.
