Solution

The correct option is C

Trumpet - 500 Hz


Pitch of a note depends on its frequency. Every musical note has a definite pitch. Two notes sounded on the same instrument with the same amplitude, will differ in pitch when their vibrations are of different frequencies. Thus, more the frequency of the note, higher is its pitch and less the frequency of the note, lower is its pitch. Out of the given options, trumpet with a frequency of 500 Hz has the highest pitch.
