A. reflection
B. refraction
C. constructive interference
D. destructive interference

Answer 1

my answer would be D. it makes more sense

Answer 2

The correct option is D.
Destructive interference is said to occur when two waves superpose in such a way that they cancel each other out. The two waves are usually of equal frequency and opposite phase, the negative displacement of one wave collides with the positive displacement of the other wave, thus cancelling each other out.
