Solution
The correct option is B Longitudinal waves Longitudinal waves are waves in which the individual particles
of the medium move in a direction parallel to
the direction of propagation of the
disturbance. The particles do not move from
one place to another but they simply oscillate
back and forth about their position of rest.
