Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

A place where the string is plucked.

B

A high pitch sound is produced when the string is plucked closer to one end.

A pitch of a musical note in case of stringed instruments depends on a place where the string is plucked. So, high pitch sound is produced when the string is plucked closer to one end. This is true in case of stringed instruments like piano, guitar and violin.
