You have a guitar string tied at both ends. You pluck it and you get as a fundamental frequency an "A" note of 440 Hz. If you wanted to adjust the string to get the next "A" note one octave higher (880 Hz) as a fundamental frequency, what could you do?

1.double the string tension
2.halve the string tension
3.quarter the string tension
4.quadruple the string tension
