Apebble is dropped in a pond. which best describes the type of wave seen here? transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave

The right answer is B

A transverse wave is a type of wave for which the deformation of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. The other main type of wave is the longitudinal wave.

For example, water waves are a type of transverse wave. The water is deformed from top to bottom in the movement of the wave but the wave moves from right to left perpendicular to the direction of the deformation.

since there are no options posted i'll give you a few examples.
