I think its D

Answer 3

Waves are created when wind blows against the ocean far out at see and this energy is transferred into the water to create a wave, which is the passage of energy through a liquid medium, thus fast means more energy, but the reason that smooth water will create a larger wave is due to the fact that there is greater surface area to absorb this energy thus more is transferred as opposed to choppy water

The Three Wind Components Used to Measure and Create Big Waves:

Fetch – the size of the expanse of water that the wind is blowing over
Duration – how long the wind is blowing over the ocean in one particular direction
D is the correct option
