The correct answer is **A amplitude**.
Sound energy and loudness are primarily related to the amplitude of sound waves; higher amplitude results in louder sounds. Amplifiers increase the amplitude, thereby increasing the sound energy and the decibel level, allowing sounds to be heard over greater distances.
