This is the key signature for which MINOR key?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt shows a treble clef with a key signature that contains four sharps. 
Four sharps in a major key signature correspond to the key of E major, and its relative minor is C# minor. 
To confirm, the order of sharps is F#, C#, G#, D#. When there are four sharps in the key signature, the minor key is the one whose relative major has those sharps, which is C# minor. 
In contrast, major keys with fewer or more sharps have different signatures (for example, C major has none, G major has one, D major has two, etc.), so four sharps uniquely point to the E major / C# minor family. 
Thus, the key signature shown corresponds to C-sharp minor.
