Correct Answer: tuning up


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The phrase "balancing up their instruments" may be considered less accurate or idiomatic in the context of musicians preparing their instruments. The more appropriate phrase for this scenario is tuning up their instruments. Tuning up refers to the process of adjusting the pitch of musical instruments to ensure they are in harmony and ready to be played.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The musicians were tuning up their instruments.
