D is the correct answer.

In the badly drawn diagram attached, you will find the yellow represents wavelength, which is the distance between identical points on consecutive waves.

The green represents the amplitude, which is the distance between the origin (middle) and crest/trough (top/bottom)

Amplitude is? A) The number of waves in a certain amount of time B) The noise floor-example-1
