Speed.
True
It is the distance between two points of maximum compression (or minimum compression).
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
CREST
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.

No, a compression-rarefaction wave.

Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
Compression
The correct answer is: longitudinal or compression.
