Solution

The correct option is D Resonance
When the external frequency becomes equal to the natural frequency of the body , then the amplitude of vibrations of the body becomes very large , this phenomenon is called resonance .
When a opera singer manages his frequency such that it becomes equal to the natural frequency of crystal glass , resonance occurs and glass shatters.
