AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 4. The line labeled 4 in the illustration represents the trailing edge of the wave. This is the point where the wave's energy begins to dissipate and the wave transitions from the crest to the trough. The other labeled lines in the figure do not correspond to the trailing edge of the wave. The trailing edge is an important concept in navigational situations, as it helps mariners understand the motion and characteristics of waves, which is crucial for safe operations, especially in coastal areas or during heavy weather conditions.
