Answer:

The answer is option d) Rarefaction. Low density is an area of rarefaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rarefaction is the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression. Like compression, which can travel in waves (sound waves, for instance), rarefaction waves also exist in nature.

Hope this helps!
