Solution

The correct option is B Rarefaction
A transverse wave is a form of transfer of energy from one place to another in a medium in the form of crests and troughs (ups and downs). All kinds of waves including the transverse waves, possess characteristics like wavelength, time period, and frequency, etc. However, a rarefaction is not a characteristic of a transverse wave, but, is of a longitudinal wave.
