Answer : 2. "S-Wave (Transverse Wave)"

S-Waves or secondary waves are also called transverse or distortional waves. These are analogous to water ripples or light waves wherein the particles move at right angles to the rays. S- Wave cannot pass through liquid materials. It can only pass through solids.
