A) amplitude
B) frequency
C) channel
D) distribution
EEG
A medical test, also known as an electroencephalogram, which measures the electrical activity of the brain.
Amplitude
In physics, the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
Brainwaves
Electrical impulses in the brain, measured by EEG, that reflect the brain's activity levels and states of arousal, including delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma waves.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Dr. Harrigan is noticing a change in the height or intensity of the brainwaves, which corresponds to changes in amplitude. Frequency refers to the speed or rate of the waves, channel refers to the electrode used to record the EEG, and distribution refers to the location of the activity across the scalp.
