This question seems to really be incomplete. You must include the options but fortunately I have already encountered this problem.
Here are the choices:

A. have a different frequency than the resultant wave.
B. be in phase with each other.
C. be traveling in the opposite direction of the resultant wave.
D. have a different wavelength than the resultant wave

The correct answer is letter B. be in phase with each other
