Answer
A
Longitudinal and transverse waves are mechanical waves, so they both carry energy through particles of matter.
B
Longitudinal waves are waves that transfer energy parallel to the direction of wave motion.
C
Transverse waves are waves that transfer energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

Explanation

Longitudinal and transverse waves are both mechanical waves, so they transfer energy through matter. In a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels; in a transverse wave, they move perpendicular to it. Therefore, all three statements describe the waves correctly.
