D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -4/4 and 3/4 create very different feels because of the change in the location of the accents. In 4/4 the strongest accent is on beat 1, and the second strongest accent is on beat 3, which puts only one beat between each accented beat. In 3/4, the accent is on beat one, which puts two beats between each accented beat.

Detailed explanation-2: -The time signature or meter 3/4 is show in the music as a 3 above a 4. This comes before the music starts but after the clef and key signature. The ‘3’ stands for 3 beats per measure and the ‘4’ tells us that each beat is a quarter note. This means that the notes in each measure will add to three quarter notes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The time signature 3/4 tells a musician that a quarter note represents one beat in a measure (the lower number) and that there will be three beats in each measure (the top number).
