Solution

The correct option is B

piccolo


Explanation:

  1. The flute is a family of musical instruments in the woodwind group.
  2. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an aerophone-type wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across the opening.
  3. Therefore the piccolo is pitched nearly an octave higher than the flute.
  4. The tone holes and keys are similar in size and placed closer together, which may make fingering easier for some players.

Hence piccolo is a flute type instrument

option ‘b’ is the correct answer
