    Displacement of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

    Explanation:

    Transverse wave is a type of wave in which the displacement of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. Other type of wave is longitudinal in which displacement of particles is parallel to the direction of wave motion.

    One of the characteristics of transverse wave is that it travels in the form of crest and trough. Crest is the part where the displacement of particle is maximum while trough is the part where the displacement is minimum.

    Therefore, the correct option is (b).
