The interval between the root and the third of a major triad is made up of four half steps.
To find the interval between the root and the third of a major triad, we need to understand the construction of a major triad. A major triad consists of the root note, the major third, and the perfect fifth.
The interval between the root and the third is called a major third. To find the number of half steps in a major third interval, we need to count the number of semitones between the two notes.
In music theory, a major third consists of four half steps or semitones. Therefore, the correct answer is four.
