Which of the following is a common woodwind instrument?

Woodwind instruments create sound when the player's breath makes the air inside the instrument vibrate, typically using an edge or a reed. The piccolo is part of the flute family and is a small transverse flute that produces sound by blowing across the edge, not by a reed. Its compact size and frequent use in bands and orchestras make it a very common woodwind instrument, a familiar choice in many ensembles.
