Stationary waves — practice question

A vertical tube is partly filled with water. A sound wave travels down the tube and is reflected from the water surface. The frequency of the sound wave is increased gradually from zero until a much louder sound is heard. Water is then taken out of the tube until a second much louder sound is heard. Which diagram shows the new pattern of the stationary wave that is formed?
