Respuesta :

Answer:

the answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

D. The difference between the height at high tide and low tide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude of a graph is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point or a wave measured from the equilibrium point.

                                             OR

In other words it is the distance between the resting position and maximum displacement of a wave.

Hence, best interpretation of the amplitude in the given wave is:

The difference between the height at high tide and low tide
