-------------
pattern
crest
wave
trough

Explanation:

A wave is defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium (or in some cases, through a vacuum for electromagnetic waves) in a regular pattern and transfers energy from one place to another. A pattern is a general design or arrangement, not specifically related to energy transfer. A crest is the highest point of a wave, and a trough is the lowest point of a wave. They are parts of a wave, not the entire phenomenon of a disturbance carrying energy.

Answer:

C. wave
