C) peak-to-peak
D) RMS

The peak-to-peak value is the measurement of the total amplitude of a signal, which includes both the positive and negative maximum values. It is calculated by taking the difference between the positive peak value and the negative peak value. The average value only gives the mathematical mean of the signal, while the peak value only considers the maximum value (in either direction) of the signal. RMS (Root Mean Square) is another measurement of the signal's amplitude, but it takes the square root of the mean of the squared values of the signal, which is different from the peak-to-peak measurement.
