Solution

The correct option is C both transverse and longitudinal
Interference pattern is generated in the medium if the waves in superposition are of same frequency and of course they should have the same velocity of propagation in the medium . So the phenomenon of interference is supported by the fact that the waves are coherent and they have the same velocity in the space, It does not matter whether the wave is longitudinal or transverse.
