Answer:

The answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

every scene is typically in a different key from the primary key. However, a key change isn't what an Episode is; an Episode is a segment of a Rondo that includes a key change. In rondo frame, the hold back (which shapes the principal theme) alternates with the scenes (which might be at least one differentiating subjects). Different names for Episodes are "diversions" or "couplets

Yes you're right... The correct answer is Choice D

Although Choice C may look like the correct answer because each episode is normally in a different key from the main key. Yet, a key change is not what an Episode is; an Episode is a section of a Rondo that involves a key change.In rondo form, the refrain (which forms the principal theme) alternates with the episodes (which may be one or more contrasting themes). Other names for Episodes are "digressions" or "couplets".
