Solution

The correct option is A shrill or high-pitched sound
The frequency determines the shrillness or pitch of a sound. If the frequency of vibration is higher, we say that the sound is shrill and has a higher pitch. If the frequency of vibration is lower, then we say that the sound has low pitch.
