Answer:

The answer is: A. It is perceived as higher in pitch

Explanation:

The pitch in a sound is dependent on the frequency of that wave. a high frequency wave would have a high pitch and a low frequency wave would have a low pitch sound. If you have twice the frequency it would have a much higher tone than the first one. In conclusion, it is perceived as a higher tone.
