Solution

The correct option is C In the x-y plane
The particles of medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave in the case of transverse wave.
In the given question, a transverse wave travels along z-axis. All the lines in the X-Y plane are perpendicular to z-axis, hence the particle of the medium must move in the X-Y plane.
The correct option is D.
