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.
