Wave runup is
Answer: B
Correct answer: the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush above still water
Runup is measured vertically from the still water level to the highest point the uprush of an individual wave reaches on the slope. It is what determines the crest level a defence needs, and it depends on the wave height and period and on the roughness and steepness of the slope. It is distinct from setup, which is the raised mean level rather than the excursion of individual waves.
