Answer:

"Wave A" has the most amplitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amplitude is defined as "the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium."

"Wave A" appears taller, extending outwards from its center more than "Wave B", so your answer would be "Wave A".
