Correct Answer

D

Explanation

The phenomenon you are referring to is called "resonance." When the bottom tip of a vibrating tuning fork is held in contact with a wooden box, the sound waves produced by the tuning fork cause the wooden box to vibrate at its natural frequency. This amplifies the sound and produces a louder sound. Resonance occurs when an object vibrates at its natural frequency in response to an external stimulus, resulting in increased amplitude and sound intensity.
