Solution

The correct option is D


Pitch is a characteristic that distinguishes two sound waves of same loudness. It depends on the frequency of the wave.

The higher is the frequency, higher will be the pitch and vice versa.

Hence the sound wave shown in option D has the highest pitch as it has the highest frequency among the given options.
