Solution

The correct option is B longitudinal stationary waves
An organ pipe open at both end contains sound waves. The waves are reflected from the end. This results in the superposition of the incident wave and reflected wave with a phase difference of π. Therefore, an organ pipe open at both ends contains longitudinal stationary waves.
