Correct answer: B. Push-pull
- A. Side-side
- B. Push-pull
- C. Up-down
- D. None of the above
Explanation
P waves are primary, longitudinal waves in which particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of travel, producing alternating pushes and pulls. S waves move side to side or up and down, so those are not P waves.
