A. Same B. Crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are C. crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is D. Stationary crests and the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are E. stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, is
The correct answer is C. I keep on choosing E, which i think is more precise, i am wrong again ^_^
