The correct answer is A.

Pitch of a sound is related to its frequency. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, and a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. Amplitude of a sound wave is related to its loudness or intensity. Speed of sound depends on the medium through which it travels and generally does not change with pitch or amplitude.

This is a fundamental concept in the physics of sound waves. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), and amplitude is related to the displacement or pressure variation in the medium.
