which term refers to the displacement of beats or accents so that strong beats become weak and vice versa?
○ contrafactum
○ rubato
○ seconding
○ syncopation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "contrafactum" refers to a musical composition where new text is set to an existing melody, not related to beat displacement.
• "rubato" is a tempo term meaning flexible rhythm, not about beat/accent displacement.
• "seconding" is not a standard musical term for beat displacement.
• "syncopation" is defined as the displacement of beats or accents, making strong beats weak and vice versa.

Answer:

D. syncopation
