Answer:

a. P waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

P. Waves are the fastest waves that a sismic activity releases, P. waves can travel through solids and liquids, this includes the inner layers of the planet, that is why if there is a lab on the opposite side of the epicentr of an earthquake it would detect mainly just P waves, since they are the only ones that can travel through the core of the earth.
