When a sound wave travels through a medium the molecules in the medium vibrates and gets amplified in the body of the system.
In musical instruments resonator helps in amplifying the sound. A resonator is a natural amplifier. It is usually a hollow body in instruments which vibrates with air through which the sound waves travels.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct answer is resonator.
