Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The perceptual difference between two sounds that vary in frequency is pitch. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived to be and is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. As the frequency of a sound wave increases, the pitch is perceived to increase as well.
