How is the transverse wave different from longitudinal waves in terms of the movement of particles with respect to the movement of the wave?
A. In transverse waves individual particles move perpendicular to the movement of the wave, while in longitudinal individual waves, particles move in parallel with the direction of the wave.
B. In transverse wave individual particle move parallel to the movement of the wave, while in longitudinal wave, individual particle move in perpendicular with the direction of the wave
C. Individual particles in both waves travel in the same direction/parallel with the direction of the wave.
D. Individual particles in both waves travel in perpendicular with the direction of the wave

A...maybe
Explanation:
In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. ... In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky.
