Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The primary difference between two different notes played on the same instrument is their pitch, which is determined by the frequency of vibrations produced by the instrument. The timbre, purity, and amplitude may also differ between the two notes, but these differences are secondary to the difference in pitch.
