Answer
A
Light wave
B
Sound wave
C
Hand wave
D
Ocean wave

Explanation

A scientific wave is a disturbance that transfers energy. Sound waves, ocean waves, and light waves all transfer energy through matter or space. A hand wave is a gesture made with the hand, not a wave in the scientific sense, so “Hand wave” is the correct choice.
