“Stationary waves” are so called because in them

Two waves of same frequency $(n)$ approaching each other with same velocity of $18\text{ m/s}$ interfere. The distance between two consecutive antinodes is

$A$ stretched string is fixed at both ends. It is made to vibrate so that the total number of nodes formed in it is '$x$'. The length of the string in terms of the wavelength of waves formed in it is $(\lambda = \text{wavelength})$

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):
$(A)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{6} \cos \frac{50 \pi t}{3}$
$(B)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{3} \cos \frac{100 \pi t}{3}$
$(C)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{6} \cos \frac{250 \pi t}{3}$
$(D)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{2} \cos 250 \pi t$

From the given progressive wave equations,which waves are used to produce a standing wave?
$z_1 = A \cos(\omega t - kx)$
$z_2 = A \cos(\omega t + kx)$
$z_3 = A \cos(\omega t + ky)$
$z_4 = A \cos(2\omega t - 2ky)$
