Solution

The correct option is B
Greater amplitude

The quality of sound is determined by higher Amplitude.
A sound is louder as the amplitude of vibration is greater, and the intensity decreases as the distance from the source increases.
Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a vibrating object from its central position is called amplitude.
Hence option B is correct.
