Answer:
The closest is “A”, however an ocean wave is not truly a transverse wave. It belongs to the category “gravity wave” (note: NOT gravitational wave as in cosmology) and occur at the interface between two media. In the case of a wave on the ocean surface it is specifically called a “surface gravity wave” . The particles in a surface gravity wave move in an oscillatory circular motion called the wave orbit not in a back and forth motion.
