Solution

The correct option is C
Both Transverse and Longitudinal waves

The waves formed on the surface of water are transverse waves. Inside the water, longitudinal waves are produced due to vibrations of the rudder. Hence both transverse as well as longitudinal waves are produced while a motor boat sails in water.
