Answer:

Trough

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several quantities of a wave that are indicated in the figure:

A) This is the point of maximum positive displacement of the wave --> this is called crest

B) This is the value of the maximum displacement of the wave measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the wave --> this is called amplitude

C) This is the point of maximum negative displacement of the wave --> this is called trough

D) This is the distance between two consecutive crests (or between two consecutive troughs) of the wave --> this is called wavelength
