When two waves are in sync with each other and occupy the same place at the same time, how is the resulting wave determined?

When waves overlap, the principle of superposition says their displacements add at each point. If the two waves are in sync, their amplitudes reinforce one another, so the resulting amplitude is found by adding the two amplitudes. Therefore, the correct choice is adding the amplitude of the two waves.
