    Answer: Option B

    Explanation: A transversal wave is a wave where the oscillation is perpendicular with respect to the direction of movement of the wave.

    This means that if the wave is traveling to the right, one possible oscillation of the particles is up and down.

    Then the right answer is B "The displacement of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion."
