The bottom wave has a greater **amplitude**.
In this scenario, since both waves travel the same distance in one second, they have the same speed. However, the first wave has a lower number of cycles (lower frequency), so the second wave must have a higher frequency. Therefore, the answer is that the bottom wave has a greater amplitude.
Thus, the best response from your options is **amplitude**.
