Name the major key signature
A D major
B B major
C G major
D A major
Here are the key signatures for the options you've listed:
A) D major - has two sharps: F# and C#
B) B major - has five sharps: F#, C#, G#, D#, and A#
C) G major - has one sharp: F#
D) A major - has three sharps: F#, C#, and G#
Each major key signature corresponds to a unique set of sharps or flats that define the pitches used in the scale of that key.
What is the answer
Apologies for the misunderstanding. The question seems to be asking for the identification of a major key signature, but the specific key signature in question is not provided in your message. You've listed four different major keys (A, B, G, D), each with their own unique key signatures, as described in my previous message.
In order to give you the correct answer, I would need to know which key signature you are referring to. A key signature is typically represented by a set of sharps or flats on the staff at the beginning of a piece of music. If you provide the number of sharps or flats, or their position on the staff, I could then tell you the corresponding major key.
The major key signatures are a way to represent the collection of notes that make up a particular major key. Each major key has a specific set of sharps or flats that are used in its key signature. To determine the major key signature, you need to look at the key's tonic or starting pitch.
Now, let's analyze the given options:
A. D major: The key of D major has 2 sharps (F# and C#) in its key signature.
B. B major: The key of B major has 5 sharps (F#, C#, G#, D#, and A#) in its key signature.
C. G major: The key of G major has 1 sharp (F#) in its key signature.
D. A major: The key of A major has 3 sharps (F#, C#, and G#) in its key signature.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: G major, which has 1 sharp (F#) in its key signature.
