(1 point)

OF

OB

OE

ForE

Answer 1

In the context of music theory, a triad consists of three notes that typically includes the root, the third, and the fifth of a scale. The notes A and C suggest we are looking for a triad built on the note A. The basic triad containing A (as the root) and C (the minor third) would include the note E (the perfect fifth).

Given the options you provided:

• OF
• OB
• OE (which could be interpreted as E)
• ForE

The correct answer would be OE (E).
