The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: CRO uses time base signal for horizontal deflection.

Step 1: Function of horizontal plates Controls X-axis movement (time axis).

Step 2: Requirement Beam should move uniformly with time.

Step 3: Suitable waveform Sawtooth wave increases linearly with time.

Step 4: Retrace period Rapid drop brings beam back.

Step 5: Conclusion \[ \boxed{\text{Sawtooth wave}} \]

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(C)} \]
