The correct response is:
**A**: From A to B is known as the wavelength and changing the pitch of the note will change its length.
### Explanation:
- **Wavelength** refers to the distance between consecutive points of a wave, such as the distance from one peak to the next peak. It is a crucial parameter in wave physics, including sound waves.
- **Pitch** is related to the frequency of a sound wave; when you change the pitch of a note (by adjusting the frequency), you effectively change the wavelength. For instance, a higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency and thus a shorter wavelength.
The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect for the following reasons:
- **B**: Amplitude relates to the height of the wave and affects volume, not length.
- **C**: While it states the wavelength correctly, it incorrectly mentions changing amplitude, which affects volume, not wavelength.
- **D**: The term "wave height" is not commonly used in this context; wavelength is the correct term. Again, "amplitude" does not affect the wavelength.
Thus, **A is the best choice**.
