Solution

The correct option is B

False


The particles of transverse wave move perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The motion is transferred to the adjacent particle by pulling action. So they can be transmitted only through a solid medium. As liquids do not withstand stress, and particles are relatively independent of each other, transverse waves cannot pass through liquids.
