This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
At a particular moment within a piece, we may hear one unaccompanied melody, several simultaneous melodies, or a melody with supporting chords. To describe these various possibilities, we use the term musical texture, which refers to how many different layers of sound are heard at once, to what kind of layers they are (melody or harmony), ad to how they are related to each other.
To what does musical texture refer?
A. How many different layers of sound are heard at the same time
B. What kind of layers of sound are heard (melody or harmony)
C. How layers of sound are related to each other
D. All answers are correct.

The term musical texture helps us describe the different ways a musical piece can present only one unaccompanied melody, several simultaneous melodies, or a melody with supporting chords
Answer:
Show boat
Explanation:
Show Boat is a musical in two acts, which was adapted from a gritty, best-selling novel by Edna Ferber. This musical touches on the complex topic of race relations in America as it follows the lives of the performers, stagehands and dock workers in a Mississippi River show boat in the late 19th and early 20th century. The musical was particularly significant due to its uncommon pairing of music with serious discussions of social issues. It is also remembered due to songs such as "Ol' Man River", "Make Believe", and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man".
