Which song has a walking bass line?

Let's restate the problem and examine each choice in turn.
Option 1: 'Both songs' — While many jazz standards and blues tunes feature strolling bass lines, this option asserts that both listed tunes have walking bass. If one of the tunes is not commonly described by listeners or educators as having a walking bass, this claim would be inaccurate. We should compare each track's bass role to the characteristic walking bass pattern.
Option 2: '"Freddie Freeloader"' — This piece is a well-known Miles Davis track in which the bass line is typically described as a steady walking bass, moving stepwise to outline the chord changes over the blues groove. The bassline contributes a continuous, forward-driving pulse that is emblematic of walking bass in a mid-tempo blues context. This makes it a strong match for the description.
Option 3: '"On the Sunny Side of the Street"' — This standard is played in a swing style and does include a bass line that often walks; however, in many performances, the bass line can be more of a traditional walking feel rather than a defining, iconic walking bass characteristic tied to the tune itself. Depending on arrangement, the walking quality may be present but not as strongly identified with the tune as in a blues- or funk-oriented walking bass example.
Putting these observations together, we evaluate which option most clearly aligns with the cue about a walking bass line. The description of a walking bass line is most strongly and consistently associated with 'Freddie Freeloader' due to its prominent, steady walking bass in the bluesy accompaniment. The other option, while possibly containing walking cadences in some performances, does not have the same widely recognized, defining walking bass identity. The distractor about both songs assumes both share that feature in a definitive way, which is not as widely documented for the second track. The swing standard’s bass can vary by arrangement and may not be described universally as a textbook walking bass in the same sense.
In summary, the analysis of the bass roles across the options points toward the second choice as the one most closely tied to a walking bass line, with the other options being less definitive or potentially misleading about the feature.
