Solution

The correct option is C frequency
Pitch of a sound is more or less a proxy for frequency of sound, how quickly the sound wave is making the air vibrate. However frequency is an objective, scientific attribute that can be measured. Pitch is each person's subjective perception of a sound wave, which cannot be directly measured.
