To find the frequency of a musical note given its period, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Frequency} (f) = \frac{1}{\text{Period} (T)}
\]

In this case, the period \( T \) is 0.00387 seconds.

Calculating the frequency:

\[
f = \frac{1}{0.00387} \approx 258.65 \text{ Hz}
\]

This frequency is close to the commonly accepted frequency for middle C (C4), which is approximately 261.63 Hz.

Among the options you provided, **263.16 hertz** is the closest representation of middle C's frequency, considering slight variations in tuning may account for the difference.

So, the answer is:

**263.16 hertz**.
