To determine which note in the [tex]$C$[/tex]-major scale has the highest pitch, we need to identify the note with the highest frequency. The table provided gives the frequency for each note in the [tex]$C$[/tex]-major scale. Let's analyze the frequencies to find the highest one.

Here's the list of the notes along with their corresponding frequencies:
- C: 261 Hz
- D: 293 Hz
- E: 329 Hz
- F: 349 Hz
- G: 392 Hz
- A: 440 Hz
- B: 493 Hz

We will now compare the values:
- 261 (C) < 293 (D)
- 293 (D) < 329 (E)
- 329 (E) < 349 (F)
- 349 (F) < 392 (G)
- 392 (G) < 440 (A)
- 440 (A) < 493 (B)

By comparing the frequencies, we see that the highest frequency in the list is 493 Hz. This frequency corresponds to the note B.

Thus, the note in the [tex]$C$[/tex]-major scale that has the highest pitch is:

B

So, the correct answer is:
B. [tex]$B$[/tex]
