A. stationary waves
B. transverse waves
C. longitudinal waves
D. mechanical waves
Correct Answer:
Option C – longitudinal waves
Explanation
In longitudinal waves, such as sound waves in a liquid or gas, the displacement of the particles in the oscillation is always in the direction of propagation, so these waves do not exhibit polarization.
