Two wave pulses travel in opposite directions on a string and approach each other. The shape of one pulse is inverted with respect to the other

A

the pulses will collide with each other and vanish after collision

B

the pulses will reflect from each other i.e., the pulse going towards right will finally move towards left and vice versa.

C

the pulse will pass through each other but their shapes will be modified

D

the pulse will pass through each other without any change in their shape
