The answer is B: Step.

Explanation for each option:

  • Cadence: This term refers to a sequence of chords that brings a piece of music to a close or a pause. It is not related to the movement between individual tones in a melody.

  • Step: This is the correct answer. In music, when a melody moves from one tone to the next adjacent tone (either up or down), it is said to move by a step. This involves moving to the next note in the scale, such as from C to D or E to F.

  • Leap: A leap refers to a movement in a melody that skips over one or more tones, moving to a non-adjacent note. For example, moving from C to E or G would be considered a leap.

  • Hop: This is not a standard musical term used to describe the movement of a melody. It is not applicable in this context.
