To determine which major key has one flat in the key signature, we can use the Circle of Fifths or remember the order of flats.
The Circle of Fifths is a visual representation of the relationships between major and minor scales. Starting from C major and moving clockwise, each successive key adds one sharp, while moving counterclockwise adds one flat.
The order of flats is: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F♭.
In this case, we're looking for a major key with one flat. Since F is the only major key with only one flat, the correct answer is F major.
The major key that has one flat in the key signature is F major.
