The correct answer is: **a. the speaker vibrating the air particles**.

Sound waves are created when a source (like a speaker) vibrates and causes nearby air particles to move. This movement creates fluctuations in air pressure, which propagate as sound waves. Increasing or decreasing the frequency refers to changes in the pitch of the sound rather than the initial cause of sound wave creation.
