The wave base is the depth below the surface of the water at which the passage of waves is barely noticeable. It occurs at a depth of about three-quarters of the wavelength. This means that if the wavelength is 12 meters, the wave base would be at a depth of approximately 9 meters (12 x 0.75 = 9). Therefore, the correct choice is (D) three-quarters.
