Correct answer: C.
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime produced by accelerating masses (for example, merging black holes or neutron stars). They are not light (B), not seismic waves in Earth's crust (D), and while A is loosely related, it's imprecise — the key point is spacetime ripples from accelerated mass, not just any movement of celestial bodies.
