apparently the answer is c because wave 1 has a higher frequency and by assumption wave 1 is louder(also cuz of the waves heights)
Ohh I thought the wave heights meant pitch, it was a random guess.and also that the distance between the points that hits the horizontal axis meant louder

The answer is (C).
Recall that sound waves are longitudinal waves, so the meaning of these graphs needs some clarification.
The vertical axis is amplitude of something, presumably it is displacement of air molecules, but it could be air pressure.
The horizontal axis is almost certainly time. The distance between each crest represent one period 'T'.
Frequency (or pitch) is the inverse of period, hence the shorter time period 'T' has a higher pitch.
The larger the vertical displacement, the louder the sound will appear to be.
