Answer: Option C.

can be represented by a wave packet.

Explanation:

Quantum particles are particles that are located in a single place having wave like properties and discrete or wave packets energy. Quantum particles have specific amount of energy and are represented by wave packet because they have wave like properties or they act like waves.

A wave packets is an envelope that consist of super imposed waves that travels and form localised disturbances having a well defined wave position and momentum.
