Solution

Both Electric field and Magnetic field.
An oscillating electric dipole have electric charge accelerating and decelerating. It is known that an accelerating and decelerating charge generates an electro-magnetic wave, which have mutually perpendicularly oscillating electric and magnetic field. Hence, the region surrounding an oscillating electric dipole has both electric as well as magnetic field
