The question is asking for velocity of the wave, this is given by the expression:

v = (wave lenght)/Period

In the question, three wavelenghs were given as 9m. Therefore, one wavelength = 9/3= 3m.
The period of two wavelengh was also given as 0.6sec. Therefore the period of one wavelength is
0.6/2 = 0.3sec.

Hence,

V = 3m/0.3s
= 10m/s (Option D)

@dior the three is gotten from the number of cycles in the diagram. if you look closely, you will see that ghe wave made threee complete oscillations
