<h2>Answer:D</h2>

Explanation:

Option A:

Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.

Option B:

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Option C:

Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.

Option D:

Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.

“Transverse waves travel through a medium of the wave's motion” is true about transverse waves.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

A transverse wave is nothing but a wave, which moves vertical to its direction of propagation. Most waves are transverse, and have a crest and trough. Surface waves are not longitudinal, but they are not transverse too. Sound waves are longitudinal, because they move in same direction of propagation.

Only transverse waves travel through a medium of the wave's motion. The propagation of a transverse wave is quite peculiar. The wave, while moving, sets the particles of medium, into the perpendicular direction, and hence, the motion takes place.

Which of these best explains the ability of small insects to walk on the surface of still water?
Furkat [3]
Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.

John pushes a box with a constant force as shown in the graph below.
andrew11 [14]
From the graph, it can be seen that the constant force that John exerted in order to move the object is 14N. Work is calculated by multiplying the force with the distance to which the object moves in parallel with the direction of the force. 
                                      Work = Force x displacement
                                      Work = (14 N) x (8 m)
                                        Work = 112 J
The closest value is 110J. Thus, the answer to this item is the second choice.
