2. A minor second is a half step, or one note to the next. A major second is a whole step, or one note, skip a note.
A whole step consists of two half steps, the smallest note division excluding semitones, so one half step brings the pitch to an "A" and the second up to "B flat"
B flat. I picture it on the piano, one key is one semi-tone or half a tone. Two of these makes one whole tone, or one whole step. One half step down from C would be the note B, another half step would then go to B flat. That is one whole step.
It's the same as a minor 3rd, so it has three half steps, or one whole step and one half step
If you are asking about the interval it is a minor third (or an augmented second...) In a Chromatic scale starting on C the tones are: C C#(or Db) D D#(orEb) so the whole step (two semitones) would take you from C to D, and then the half step would get you to D#(or Eb... they are enharmonic equivalents, which means that it's the same pitch with two different names)
The answer is C. Since B is one half step up from B flat, and C is one half step up from B, and two halves make a whole :)
A half step in music is the smallest interval between two notes. It is the distance of one key on a piano. A whole step is two half steps put together, or the distance of two keys on a piano.
A minor second in music theory is the distance of one half step between two notes.
