Answer:

The correct answer is "c=They both transfer energy through a medium"

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

Longitudinal waves are characterized by transimitir parallel to the source of vibration and has high density areas (compressions and rarefactions).

Transverse waves are transmitted perpendicular to the source of vibration.

Both waves share the characteristic of transferring energy through a medium.

The correct answer is "c=They both transfer energy through a medium"
