A) Ten notes

B) Twelve notes

C) Fifteen notes

D) Eighteen notes

Answer:

B) Twelve notes

The twelve notes of the octave—all the black and white keys in one octave on the piano—form the chromatic scale. The tones of the chromatic scale (unlike those of the major or minor scale) are all the same distance apart, one half step.
