Solution

The correct option is B Noise
Pitch is a characteristic of sound that depends upon the frequency and the amplitude of vibration doesn't affect it.
A musical sound has regular and discrete frequencies, sudden change in amplitude and frequency will make it unpleasant, so it doesn't happen in musical sound.
Noise is a mixture of irregular and continuous frequencies which has a sudden change in amplitude and frequency.
