AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The waveform labeled C in the illustration EL-0088 is termed a ramp or sawtooth wave. This type of waveform has a linear rise followed by a sudden drop, creating a shape resembling the teeth of a saw. The other options are incorrect because: A) is a sine wave, B) is a square wave, and D) is a pulse wave - none of which have the characteristic ramp or sawtooth shape of the correct answer, C.
