it's not A keep asking or read this http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/sound/tralon.html

The answer is D... In this context transverse means means perpendicular to the direction of travel.  So it is neither A or C.  Also, just because the wave has a constant direction of motion (propagating to the right for instance at a constant speed) does not mean it has to be a longitudinal wave.  Electromagnetic waves are examples of transverse waves which can propagate in a single direction unimpeded.  So that rules out B.
