 Correct option A is correct. Phase difference describes the difference in the phase angle between any two waves at any given position along the waves.

(ϕ) The phase difference is the difference in the phase angle of the two waves. Path difference is the difference in the path traversed by the two waves. The relation between phase difference and path difference is direct. They are directly proportional to each other.

The difference between two sinusoidally varying quantities that have the same frequency, measured either as an angle or a time.
