Answer:

The medium of the wave is the Rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it is transverse wave and transverse wave need a medium to transfer energy and this is because in transverse wave,particles of the medium move in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the transverse wave. From the question, when you move you hand up and down, you make a wave and the direction of the wave is also up and down which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
