Solution
The correct option is B Pitch The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high-frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low-frequency sound wave. Therefore, pitch is a characteristic of a sound wave that distinguishes an acute or a shrill note from a dull or flat note.
