    b) the reflected pulse returns inverted while the transmitted pulse is right side up

    Explanation:

    A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier.

    Then, as far as orientation of reflected and transmitted pulses are concerned the reflected pulse returns inverted while the transmitted pulse is right side up.

    Hence the correct answer is b.
