(1) A only
(2) (A) and (B) only
(3) (C) only
(4) (C) and (D) only
Answer: 1
Explanation:
Wave height is an indicator of wave energy.
The amount of energy in a wave depends on its height and wavelength as well as the distance over which it breaks.
Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction.
If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.
