B) Waves are affected by gravity.
Explanation: The standard ways waves interact with matter are reflection, refraction (changing direction between materials), and absorption (transfer of energy to matter). Gravity can affect waves (e.g., gravitational lensing of light), but that is not ordinarily listed as a wave–matter interaction in this context.
