D. Wave — specifically water waves (tides).
The Sun and Moon’s gravity produces tidal forces that pull on Earth’s oceans, creating the tides (large-scale water waves). Electromagnetic waves are only very weakly affected by gravity (gravitational lensing/redshift), and sound or seismic waves are not driven primarily by the Sun/Moon’s gravity.
