Final answer:

The statement regarding AIS frequency of transmission is not addressed in the given examples but typically involves more frequent intervals than 6 minutes. Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "Static information provided by the vessel is transmitted every 6 minutes (AIS)" is not related to the examples provided about waves and wave behavior. AIS stands for Automatic Identification System used in maritime navigation and ships typically broadcast static information such as identification, position, course, and speed at variable intervals that can be more frequent than every 6 minutes depending on the situation.

Regarding the wave behavior examples:

Waves can superimpose if their frequencies are different. This statement is true. Different waves can interact with each other, creating complex patterns via constructive and destructive interference.

A pebble dropped in water creates a pulse wave, which is a temporary disturbance that travels through a medium. This statement is true.

The statement that a standing wave is a superposition of two identical waves that are in phase and propagating in the opposite direction is true. This error in direction clarifies the nature of standing waves.

On the topics of waves propagating faster in less dense mediums and solar sails, these statements require context, as wave speed is dependent not just on density but also on the medium's properties like elasticity, and solar sails primarily use the radiation pressure of sunlight rather than relying solely on solar wind particles.
