Which statement about the trombone's sounding pitch is correct?

Explanation:
A trombone reads and sounds in concert pitch, meaning the note you see on the page is the note you hear. There’s no automatic interval shift like with some other brass or woodwind instruments. So if you see a C on the staff, you hear a C when played. The other options describe transpositions (lowered by a third, up two octaves, or a fifth lower), which don’t apply to the trombone, because it isn’t a transposing instrument.
