Answer:

The diagram that correctly identifies compression in a longitudinal sound wave is ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

compression in a longitudinal sound wave is the area or region where the particles of the wave are very much bunched up together(closest)

while rarefaction is the region where the particles of the wave are farthest from each other
