Jacob Lloyd · Answer 1

The answer is A: tightening the string. By doing this, the string will become slightly shorter. A shorter string, when plucked or bowed, will produce a higher pitch. The other answers will have different results. Increasing the thickness, loosening the string, and lengthening the string will all cause the pitch to lower.
