Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Sound produced by an open organ pipe is richer because it contains all harmonics and frequency of fundamental note in an open organ pipe is twice the fundamental frequency in a closed organ pipe of same length.
Reason is also correct, but it is not explaining the assertion.
