Optics is the type of physics that deals with wave-like phenomena such as sound and light. Quantum Mechanics is concerned with the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level, while Fluid Mechanics studies the behavior of fluids under the influence of forces. Thermodynamics deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy, and their transfer and conversion. These branches of physics may touch upon wave-like phenomena, but they are not specifically focused on it, making them incorrect options for this question.
