To determine the minor key signature being shown, we first need to understand how key signatures work. Key signatures are notated at the beginning of a music piece and indicate which notes are to be sharpened or flattened throughout the entire piece.
In this case, we see a staff in treble clef with F sharp marked in the key signature. This means that every time an F is encountered in the music piece, it should be played as an F sharp.
To identify the minor key from the key signature, we need to look at the note that is one half-step higher than the last sharp in the key signature. In this case, the last sharp is F sharp. The note one half-step higher than F sharp is G.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the minor key being shown in the image is G minor.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. G minor
