The correct answer is: superimposing a low frequency signal on a high frequency carrier signal
Modulation is the phenomenon of superimposing a low audio frequency information signals (called the modulation signals) on a high-frequency wave (called, the carrier wave). When we modulate the amplitude of the carrier wave to transmit the information, it is known as amplitude modulation.
