Waves inside a gas are:

A
Longitudinal
B
Transverse
C
Partly longitudinal, partly transverse
D
None of these

Answer

Longitudinal

Explanation:

When a wave propagates through a gas, the displacement of the particle is parallel to wave propagation. Thus, it's a longitudinal wave.

Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.

However transverse waves can travel through solids.
