Contraltos typically have a vocal range between which notes?

Contraltos are the lowest female voice type in choral and solo singing, characterized by their rich, deep timbre and extended lower range. Typically, the vocal range of a contralto spans from around G3 or A3 down to F3 or D3, reaching lower any lower for certain contraltos. The upper limit generally extends up to D5.

When considering the answer choice that fits the range of a contralto (D3 to D5), it accurately reflects the characteristics of this voice type, which can comfortably sing in this range while maintaining the quality and depth distinctive to a contralto voice. Other ranges suggested do not encapsulate the typical extents of a contralto voice effectively—either pushing the range too high for this category or not low enough to capture the essence of the contralto's unique vocal characteristics.
