Detailed Solution

At t = 0, x = 0 displacement y = 0Therefore, option (A) and (B) may be correct.Secondly slope at x = 0 at t = 0 is positivei.e., particle velocity is in negative y–direction because particle velocity= – (slope) (wave speed).So, particle at x = 0 travelling in negative y–direction.
