The quality of the triad in this case is minor.
The quality of the triad with a minor third interval between the root and third, and a major third interval between the third and fifth, is a diminished triad.
To determine the quality of a triad based on the intervals between the root, third, and fifth, you need to consider the number of semitones (half steps) in each interval.
In this case, the interval between the root and third is described as a "minor third" (m3). A minor third consists of three semitones.
The interval between the third and fifth is described as a "major third" (M3). A major third consists of four semitones.
To determine the quality of the triad, you need to compare these intervals to the standard intervals for each type of triad: major, minor, augmented, and diminished.
A major triad is formed by stacking a major third on top of a minor third. Since the intervals in this triad are a minor third (3 semitones) and a major third (4 semitones), the quality of the triad is major.
Therefore, the correct answer is: major.
