Answer:

Destructive interference

Step-by-step explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out. The resultant wave has a smaller amplitude than the individual waves. In this case, the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase.

Hence, the correct option is (A) "destructive interference"
