Final answer:

Seismic waves cannot travel through liquids.

correct answer is E

Step-by-step explanation:

Seismic waves are not able to travel through liquids. Shear or transverse waves cannot pass through a liquid and are not transmitted through Earth's core.

However, compression or longitudinal waves can pass through a liquid and they do go through the core.

correct answer is E
