Answer:

Transverse wave formation.

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of wave formation is called transverse wave formation.

Transverse wave is a wave arising when the medium's pulse is perpendicular to the wave's path of propagation. The crowd was standing vertically, but they were arranged horizontally in the stadium, according to the question. Hence the wave form was transverse.
