Correct Answer: Transverse
Solution : The correct option is Transverse .
When a stone is tossed into the calm water of a pond, the waves that form on the water's surface are transverse. Transverse waves are waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicular to the wave's propagation direction. The particles of water in water waves move up and down as the wave moves horizontally. This may be noticed by observing the ripples that appear on the pond's surface when a stone is tossed in.
