Answer:
Constructive interference
Explanation:
In this case, Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases. This is the case of constructive interference.
In constructive interference, the amplitudes of two waves adds up. We know that the energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. So, as a result, the energy increases.
Hence, the correct option is (c) " constructive interference "
