Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
A wave is a disturbance that propagates energy from one place to another without transporting any matter.Waves travelling through a solid medium can be either transverse waves or longitudinal waves. Transverse wave cannot travel through liquid or gas as it require a relatively rigid medium in order to transmit their energy.
