A means the amplitude of the wave

2pi/B means the period of the wave

C means the place shift left of the wave

and D means the vertical shift of the wave

Note 2pi here means 2pi radian, not degrees.

If you have trouble understanding any of these vocabularies above, just ask in the comments, I will be happy to help.
