The scale shown is C major.
To determine the scale shown in the image, we need to identify the key signature, which is indicated by the sharps or flats at the beginning of the staff. However, in this question, there is no image provided, so we cannot look at it to determine the scale.
If you have an image at your disposal, carefully observe the key signature, which is usually placed between the clef and the time signature. Sharps (#) or flats (b) will indicate the notes that are altered throughout the piece.
Once you identify the key signature, you can determine the corresponding major scale by identifying the tonic note (the first note of the scale) and the pattern of whole steps (W) and half steps (H) specific to that key.
For example, in the key of C major, there are no sharps or flats, and the scale follows the pattern: C D E F G A B C. In the key of A major, there are three sharps (F#, C#, and G#), and the scale follows the pattern: A B C# D E F# G# A.
Without the image, it is impossible to determine the specific scale shown.
The scale shown in the image is the C major scale.
