Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves are generally caused by the wind that blows over the oceans. The waves formed by the wind are known as the wind driven waves. They are also known as the surface waves. When the wind blows over the surface of the ocean water, it creates a friction between them, as a result of which these surface waves are generated. This wind as well as the pressure differences below the ocean surface provides energy to the ocean waves. These waves are constantly moving in all the parts of oceans and are affected by the Coriolis force that results due to the rotation of the earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
