    One end of a taut string of length $3 \ m$ along the $x$-axis is fixed at $x=0$. The speed of the waves in the string is $100 \ m / s$. The other end of the string is vibrating in the $y$-direction so that stationary waves are set up in the string. The possible waveform$(s)$ of these stationary waves is (are)
