Read the following passage and answer the question given below <br><br>A transvers wave motion is that wave motion in which individual particles of the medium execute simple harmonic motion about their mean position in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave motion.<br><br> A transverse wave travels through the medium in the form of crests and troughs. The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive trough is called wavelength of the wave. It is represented by λ. A longitudinal wave motion is that wave motion in which the individual particles of the medium execute simple harmonic motion about their mean position along the same direction, along which the wave is propagated.<br><br> A longitudinal wave travels in the form of compressions and rarefactions. The distance between two compressions or rarefactions is the wavelength of the wave.<br><br> QUESTION : Transverse waves cannot be produced in liquids and gases why? <br>

Question

$\begin{array}{1 1} (a)\; \text{liquids and gases cannot produce crests and troughs} \\ (b)\; \text{they do not posses the elasticity of shape} \\ (c)\; \text{they can be compressed easily} \\ (d)\; \text{all of the above} \end{array}$
