Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Waves which are located on the ocean's surface are commonly produced by the wind which is transferring its energy to the water.  Huge and big waves, or swells, can travel over long distances. The size of the wave depends on wind speed, wind duration, and the area over which the wind is blowing. If The speed of the wind is more, it stays for along time and it covers a larger distance then the waves produced will be very powerful and large.
