I believe that the answer is C. Win blowing across water. Because the wind blowing across the water would cause force that would make waves

Answer:

C.Wind blowing across water

Explanation:

Most waves form from the wind blowing on the sea surface. The wind hits the water and causes a ripple composed of small waves between 1 and 2 cm that are called capillary waves. The faster and more durable the wind, the higher the wave will be. If the ripple formed is still small and the wind stops blowing, the waves will fade with it. Now, if the wind continues, this ripple gets higher, longer and faster until it forms the waves we know that surfers use in sports.
