Freddie · Answer 1

The right choice is D. Pitch is how frequency is perceived

Explanation:

Pitch perception allows us to order sounds on a musical scale. In simpler words pitch is the quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies. So it is related to frequencies in the term that a sound having higher frequencies will have higher pitch and vice versa. SO we distinguish the sounds pitch by their frequencies.
