Solution

The correct options are
A Iron rod
C Stretched string
D Water surface
Transverse waves can travel only in solids and only along the surface of liquids, but not in the entire liquid. They can't travel in gases.
Since iron rod and stretched string are solids, transverse waves can travel in them.
Water surface being a liquid surface they can travel in it also.
Hydrogen gas being a gas, they can't travel in it.
