Solution

The correct option is A $z_{1} + z_{2}$
Stationary waves are formed by the superposition of two identical waves traveling in opposite directions along same direction.
$z_{1} = A sin (k x - ω t)$ $\to$ travel along $+ x$ axis.
$z_{2} = A sin (k x + ω t)$ $\to$ travel along $- x$ axis.
$z_{3} = A sin (k y - ω t)$ $\to$ travel along $+ y$ axis.
So, according to definition, $z_{1} + z_{2}$ represents the standing wave.
