Correct Answer: L waves
Solution : The correct option is L waves.
L waves are surface waves. They are named after the British mathematician A. E. H. Love, who first mathematically predicted their existence. Love waves move the ground from side to side in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation. They are slower than primary waves (P waves), and secondary waves (S waves) but can cause significant damage during earthquakes.
