Amusia is a difficulty distinguishing melodies and remembering simple tunes. In an experiment, volunteers with amusia could not identify changes in pitch comparable to playing neighborinbg piano keys. However, the volunteers were able to track timed sequences of tones and identify slight changes in timing.

Amusia involves an inability to distinguish pitch more than an inability to distinguish timing.

This answer is unsupported. We don't know if the study's volunteers perceive timing better than people without amusia, just that they perceive timing better than they perceive pitch. We also can't determine causality based on the stimulus.

This answer is strongly supported. We know from the stimulus that while the volunteers could not tell tones apart, they were able to perceive timing. So amusia involves more inability to tell tones apart than inability to perceive timing.

This answer is unsupported. We have no idea whether the study volunteers would be able to tell tones apart within a melody.

This answer is unsupported. We can perhaps infer that perceiving pitch is necessary to distinguish melodies, but that doesn't mean that perceiving timing isn't also necessary.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus whether either of these characteristics are learned or innate to make this comparison.
