Answer:

The correct answer is option B which is a chainsaw, diesel truck, rustling leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The amplitude of the sound wave is the maximum displacement of the particles from their resting position.
  • Higher the amplitude means high sound.
  • So the sound of a chainsaw is high, so its amplitude will be great and after that the amplitude of diesel truck is high and rustling leaves have the lowest amplitude.
