B) frequency increases
C) amplitude decreases
D) amplitude increases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decibels of a sound are a measure of its intensity, or amplitude. As the decibels increase, the amplitude of the sound wave also increases. Therefore, the correct answer is D - amplitude increases. The frequency of a sound wave, on the other hand, refers to the number of cycles per second and is not directly related to the intensity of the sound.
