His popularity is on the wave.

  • A.on the heights
  • B.stand still
  • C.verge of eruption
  • D.gradually declining

Answer: A

On the wave here means on the heights: his popularity is at its peak.

The image is of being carried up on the crest of a wave, as in the related phrase riding the crest of a wave, which means enjoying great success or popularity at a given time.

Stand still suggests no movement, the opposite of being carried up. Verge of eruption belongs to a volcano or a crisis, not to popularity. Gradually declining describes the trough, or the wave falling away, rather than the crest.
