Someone help me figure this out?

A. destructive interference
B. constructive interference
C. refraction
D. diffraction
E. partial transmission

|dw:1385505099078:dw|This an image interpretation of destructive interference and constructive interference with their respective amplitudes at certain points in time. You can look up the image of wave projections that occur during refraction and diffraction and partial transmission. 

The focus of this problem is based on their amplitudes. You know that the first wave has 52 units and the second as 98 units in amplitude, but at one point with both of their amplitudes "combined" the resultant amplitude is 46 units.
