The shockwave from an undersea earthquake causes 'ripples' in the ocean which are very large swells. When the bottom of the swell touches land, it must build up higher to maintain it's size. Therefore when it approaches the beach, water is drawn away from the beach to compensate for the ocean depth getting shallower under the tsunami swell. More water is drawn from in front of the swell than behind due to the movement of the swell.

I think the correct answer is B.
By observing how seismic waves are absorbed and refracted, scientist have been able to work out where the properties of the earth change dramatically. our understanding of the internal structures of the earth and the size of its core is based on these observations.
basically:
size of core
structure of the earth I.e. the layers of the earth
and I think the last one is how the internal structure is changing? not sure on the last one but its still a solid guess.
