Answer:The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transverse waves are the waves with oscillation vibrating perpendicular the propagation of the wave.

Whereas, Surface wave is the wave which travels across the surface of the earth.

Longitudinal wave is the wave in which medium vibrates in the same direction of the propagation of the wave.
