C) destructive interference
D) transverse wave

From Internet:

Destructive interference takes place when waves come together in such a manner that they completely cancel each other out. When two waves destructively interfere, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions. There are many interesting wave phenomenon in nature, that cannot be defined by an individual wave.
