Solution

The correct option is C waves are formed
When gentle winds scrape across the ocean surface, then waves are formed. When the water on the surface of the ocean rises and falls alternately, they are called waves. Speed of wind, duration of wind and distance the wind blows over water are the factors which affects the height of the waves. The stronger the wind blows, the bigger the wave becomes.
