Answer:

Amplitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of a wave is given by :

velocity = total distance covered/total time taken

In the case of a wave the total distance covered is equal to the amplitude of a wave. It is the maximum displacement covered by the wave. So, the velocity of a wave is a function of its amplitude. Hence, the correct option is (D).
