Which one of the following is NOT a body wave?

  • A.P wave
  • B.S wave
  • C.Primary compressional wave
  • D.Love wave

Answer: D

Correct answer: Love wave

Body waves travel through the interior of the earth, and there are only two: the P wave and the S wave - the third option being simply another name for the P wave. The Love wave is a surface wave, guided along a low-velocity surface layer and dying away with depth, so it does not travel through the body of the earth at all.
