A. The wave's amplitude increases.
Explanation: For most waves (mechanical waves, sound, etc.) the energy carried is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so adding energy raises amplitude. Frequency and speed are set by the source and medium, and wavelength = speed/frequency, so they don't necessarily change when you add energy.
