Step 2. Explanation of the correct option

Option d is correct because the pitch is measured in hertz and volume is measured in decibels.

Step 3. Explanation of the incorrect option

Option a is incorrect because the pitch is measured in hertz and volume is measured in decibels.

Option b is incorrect because the pitch is measured in hertz and volume is measured in decibels.

Option c is incorrect because the pitch is measured in hertz and volume is measured in decibels.
