Solution

The correct option is C
Frequency

Frequency is the only physical quantity that is independent of the nature of media through which the wave is propagating. When a wave travels from one medium to other, its wavelength, as well as velocity, may change. But frequency remain unchanged. This is the reason that frequency is the fundamental property of a wave.
