Answer:

d. seismic waves and c. transverse waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, S waves are also known as transverse waves. The S stands for secondary wave because is the second arrival on an earthquake seismogram.

P waves are also known as seismic waves in seismology. The P Stands for primary wave because is the wave that has the highest velocity.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
