Answer: B. The wave's amplitude increases.
Explanation: For most waves, adding energy increases the amplitude (height) of the wave. Energy carried by a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. Frequency is set by the source, and speed is determined by the medium, so those don't necessarily change.
