When Tyler helps his roommate solve a programming problem, his brain waves will likely increase in frequency as he concentrates and focuses on the task at hand. However, because he is not doing anything physically demanding or exciting, his brain waves will likely decrease in amplitude. This means that there will be more brain wave activity happening, but it will be happening at a lower overall intensity. Therefore, the best choice is C, which describes an increase in frequency and a decrease in amplitude.
