Before playing the orchestra in a musical concert, a sitarist tries to adjust the tension and pluck the string suitably. By doing so, he is adjusting
$(a)$. intensity of sound only
$(b)$. amplitude of sound only
$(c)$. frequency of the sitar string with the frequency of other musical instruments
$(d)$. loudness of sound
