Answer

The answer is binary.

Explanation
Option 1: Binary

A binary form in music consists of two contrasting sections, typically labeled as A and B. This form is characterized by the clear division into two parts, often with different themes or musical ideas. It is one of the simplest and most common forms in Western music.

Option 2: Ternary

Ternary form consists of three sections, usually labeled A-B-A. The first and third sections are typically similar or identical, while the middle section contrasts with them. This form is not applicable to the question, which specifies two contrasting sections.

Option 3: Symmetrical

Symmetrical form refers to a structure where parts are balanced or mirror each other, but it is not a specific musical form like binary or ternary. It does not specifically refer to having two contrasting sections.

Option 4: Duple

Duple refers to a time signature or meter in music, indicating two beats per measure. It is not related to the form of a musical piece in terms of contrasting sections.
