The maximum speed of the oscillator is directly proportional to the frequency, as given by the equation v = 2πfA, where v is the maximum speed, f is the frequency, and A is the amplitude of the oscillator. When the frequency is doubled, the maximum speed is also doubled, as all other variables remain constant. Therefore, the answer is A)2.
