The correct answer is A-flat major.
The key signature shown in the notation is A-flat major.
To determine the key signature shown in the notation, you need to identify the accidentals present in the key signature.
From the information given, we know that there are four flats in the key signature: B flat, E flat, A flat, and D flat.
To determine the key signature, we can use the circle of fifths. The circle of fifths is a diagram that represents all the major and minor key signatures, organized in a circular manner.
Start by locating the flat symbol in the key signature. In this case, we have four flats.
To identify the key signature, count four flats counterclockwise from the flat symbol on the circle of fifths.
As you count, you will find that A flat is the fourth flat, so the key signature shown in the notation is A-flat major.
Therefore, the correct response is "A-flat major."
