Neither longitudinal nor transverse

B

Both longitudinal and transverse

C

Only longitudinal

D

Only transverse

The correct Answer is:
B
Water waves produced by a motorboat sailing in water are both longitudinal and transverse, because the waves produce transverse as well as lateral vibrations in the particles of the medium.
