Solution

The correct option is A 380 Hz
Frequency of fork one is $384 H_{z}$ .
When other fork is waxed beats is increased.
So, frequency of other fork is less than frequency of fork one.
So, beat $=$ frequency of fork one $-$ frequency of second fork
$4 = 384 -$ Frequency of second fork
Frequency of second fork $= 380 H_{z}$
