Step-by-step explanation

A longitudinalwave is in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of the line of advance of the wave.Longitudinal waves cause the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.

A longitudinal wave can be set up for example in a streched spring by compressing the coils in a small region, and releasing the compressed region,

the back and forth motions of the coils of the spring is in the same direction that the wave travels

so, in a longitudinal wave there is not Vertical movement, so the answer is

C. Vertical
