It would be A: Have a greater height.

The higher the wave the higher the energy!

Answer:

An ocean wave with more energy will have a greater height

Explanation:

A student looks at ocean waves coming into the beach. The energy of wave depends on the amplitude of wave. Amplitude of a wave is the distance from equilibrium position to the crest or trough of the wave.

So, an ocean wave with more energy will have a greater height. The height of wave is equal to twice the amplitude of wave. Hence, the correct option is (A).
