Answer: The correct answer is "water particles are set in a circular motion".

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave is a disturbance which carries energy from one particle to the another particle.

Surface wave: In this wave, the motion of the particles is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the motion of the wave. It moves in a circular motion.

For example, If a stone is thrown in the water then the surface waves will travel at the boundary between the air and the water. Water particles are set in a circular motion.

Therefore, the correct option is (D).
