Explanation

Diapason refers to a loud, harmonious burst of music or the entire range of an instrument or voice. In music theory, it means the full compass of notes from lowest to highest. The word comes from Greek 'dia' (through) + 'pason' (all), literally meaning 'through all'. The other options are scientific/technical meanings that are either incorrect or obscure.
