Solution

The correct option is A Minimum
In a traverse wave the compression pushes the particles together and the rare fraction pulls the particles apart. When the compression falls on a rare fraction the resultant displacement of particles gets reduced as the compression pushes the particles together and no pulling apart of particles happens.
