Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bow waves are produced when an object moves faster than the waves it produces. This leads to a V-shaped wave pattern being formed at the bow of the boat. As the boat moves forward, the bow wave moves with it and eventually forms a wake behind the boat. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which states that the boat moves faster than the waves it produces.
