  • B.Circular and Body Waves
  • C.Body Waves and Vertical Waves
  • D.Circular and Vertical Waves

Answer: A

They are body waves and surface waves.

Body waves travel through the interior and are of two kinds: the faster longitudinal P waves, which pass through solid and liquid alike, and the transverse S waves, which cannot cross the liquid outer core. Surface waves travel along the crust, arrive last and do most of the damage.
