Detailed Solution

The correct option is 4.
Timbre (or quality) is the characteristic of oscillation that distinguishes two sound waves (generally created from totally different sources) having the same loudness and pitch. It depends on the waveform. For example, it's the potential for a note created by a flute and a piano to have the same pitch and loudness but continually sound different. So, the factors that determine the quality of sound are:
       The amplitude of the wave.
       The distance of the supply from the ear.
       The surface area of the vibrating body.
       The density of the medium.
       The presence of resonant bodies.
