Bruno wants the fees to be canceled or deferred.
canceled or deferred: 'To waive' is a verb with two primary meanings. The first is to 'eliminate' or 'cancel', which is the sense in which it is used in the dialogue. Bruno wants Sam to 'waive' or 'cancel' the fees he is being charged by the bank. The secondary meaning is to 'defer' which means 'to set aside' or 'postpone temporarily'. The verb 'to waive' is frequently used in both financial and legal contexts. 'To waive the right to vote' is to 'relinquish' or 'give up' the right to vote.
reduced or decreased: The verbs 'to reduce' and 'to decrease' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'. 'To reduce and to decrease are 'to lessen' or 'to diminish', whereas 'to waive' means 'to cancel' or in some cases 'to defer'.
reconsidered or renegotiated: The verbs 'to renegotiate' and 'to reconsider' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'.
increased or raised: The verbs 'to increase' and 'to raise' do not express the same meanings as the verb 'to waive'. Bruno does not want the charges increased as he already believes they are excessive!

After Sam says that the executive committee has agreed to waive all the supplementary fees charged to Delavigne, he tells Bruno that this is normal "considering your company's importance to our bank". This indicates that the Delavigne Corp is a major client of Sam's bank.
Sam tells Bruno that his bank is going "to waive the supplementary fees" that were charged to Delavigne's account. To "waive" a charge or a fee means to remove or eliminate it entirely. To "reduce a sum of money" means to lessen or diminish the sum, which is not the same. Bruno will no longer have to pay any fees in the future, and he will be paid back the money he has spent on interest in the past year.

2 legal document: A "waiver" is a legal document which cedes or relinquishes rights when signed.

To "make waves" in this context is: to cause controversy 1.
Literally, a "wave" is: a movement on water 2.
1 cause controversy: This is the right answer. To "make waves (in an industry)" is to create controversy or generate debate. This can be either positive or negative, but certainly involves generating interest! Example: "Bruno Delavigne made waves last week when he announced that he would be retiring from perfume making". To "make waves" is derived from the idea of deliberately moving water and creating swells or ripples (like those used by surfers).
1 say hello: This is incorrect. "To wave at someone" means to use a hand gesture to say "hello" or "goodbye", often from a distance. However, this is unrelated to "making waves".
1 create advertisements: This is incorrect. Creating, designing, or writing advertisements is unrelated to "making waves".
1 attack competitors: This is incorrect. To attack competitors or the opposition is unrelated to "making waves".
2 a movement on water: This is the right choice. A "wave" is a movement or swell on water, especially in the sea. Surfers need waves to have fun! In other contexts, "a wave" can describe a social or artistic movement: "the new wave of French cinema", or a hand movement used to say "hello" or "goodbye": "I waved to Charles, but he didn't see me".
2 a type of contract: This is incorrect. Perhaps you were thinking of "a waiver", which is a contract in which you renounce or sacrifice your rights to something. We often sign waivers before undertaking dangerous activities such as bungee jumping!
2 an excited sound: This is incorrect. A sound which we make when we are excited about something is never called "a wave".
2 envy or jealousy: This is incorrect. "Envy" and "jealousy" are wanting what other people have, or resenting them for being better than you. This is unrelated to the term "wave".
