This is the highest point of a wave
A
Wave height
B
Trough
C
Wavelength
D
Crest
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough. The wave height is the overall vertical change in height between the crest and the trough and distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave or wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -Crest-The highest part of a transverse wave. Trough-The lowest part of a transverse wave.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The highest point on a wave is the Crest, while the lowest point is the trough 2.

Detailed explanation-4: -The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next. The amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough.

Detailed explanation-5: -The crest of a wave is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of positive or upward displacement from the rest position.
