Solution
The correct option is B Compression
When a tuning fork strikes a rubber pad, the back and forth vibration of the tines produces disturbance of surrounding air molecules. As a tine stretches outward from its position, it compresses surrounding air molecules into a small region of space, this creates a high-pressure region next to the tine. These high-pressure regions are known as compressions.
