The correct answer to the question "the blank sounds unstable because it is diminished" is **C - leading tone**.
In music theory, the leading tone is the seventh scale degree that resolves to the tonic and often has a dissonant or unstable feel, especially in the context of a diminished chord. The leading tone, being just a half step below the tonic, creates a strong pull or tension that seeks resolution.
