Answer:

Graph (c) would be created by a pendulum with the greatest amplitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the greatest displacement covered by an object. It refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. It is the distance from rest to crest.

Out of three graphs, the amplitude is greatest in graph 3 as the distance from rest is crest in this case is maximum. Hence, the correct option is (c).
