Answer:

The correct answer is dissonance. The other options do not fit the context, so by process of elimination, the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissonance in music means:

  • Lack of sound quality due to “instability”.
  • Combination of little or no harmonic sounds; out of tune.
  • Disharmony, disagreement of sounds.

Basically dissonance is that situation in which we hear or reproduce something inharmonious.

Dissonance causes a sense of movement and tension.

Dissonance is the opposite of consonance.

Dissonance is also done on purpose by many musicians and composers, so that disharmony fits the music in some sense.

In fact, all music composed on a harmonic and tonal basis, even if generally considered harmonious, has some degree of dissonance.
