Answer: The correct answer is "circular".

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface wave: Surface wave is neither transverse wave nor longitudinal wave. This wave travels both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the energy transportation.

The resulting direction of a surface wave is circular.

Ocean wave is a surface wave. It travels both perpendicular and parallel to the direction of the wave.

In Longitudinal wave, the particles oscillates parallel to the direction of the energy transportation.

In Transverse wave, the particles oscillates perpendicular to the direction of the energy transportation.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
