B) amplitude
C) pitch
D) absolute threshold
Intensity
The measurable amount of a property, such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field, often described in terms of its strength or concentration.
Location
A particular place or position.
Amplitude
In physics, the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Differences in the intensity or loudness of a sound wave received by each ear, known as interaural intensity differences or sound shadow, allow us to localize the source or location of the sound. Amplitude refers to the intensity or loudness of a sound wave, pitch refers to the frequency of a sound wave, and absolute threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation needed for a person to detect a particular stimulus.
