Answer: "a toy car rear-ending a toy car that then rear-ends another toy car."

Reason: a wave is a disturbance that is passed from one part of a medium to the next. The chain of cars passing a shove from one to the next models that transmission of a disturbance. The other choices describe a single object bouncing (not propagation) or just objects moving together or apart (not a traveling disturbance being passed along).
