To compare Wave A (black) to Wave B (green) using the responses provided, we need to focus on the different characteristics of waves, which include crest height (amplitude), frequency, and wavelength.

- **Crest Height**: Refers to the maximum displacement of the wave from the rest position, commonly known as amplitude.

- **Frequency**: Refers to how many cycles occur in a given amount of time.

- **Wavelength**: Refers to the distance between successive crests (or troughs) of a wave.

Based on your options:

- **A. higher crest**: This would indicate that Wave A has greater amplitude than Wave B.

- **B. higher frequency**: This would indicate the number of cycles per second is greater for Wave A than Wave B.

- **C. longer wavelength**: This would suggest that the distance between crests of Wave A is greater than that of Wave B.

- **D. greater amplitude**: This would mean Wave A has a larger maximum displacement compared to Wave B.

To choose the correct response, you would need to look at the waves visually or use specified details to determine which characteristics Wave A has compared to Wave B. Without that information, I cannot definitively answer which option is correct.
