The type of wave that the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave moves is longitudinal waves. The correct answer is D.

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Ocean waves are the waves that are causes by the crashing of water on the beach.

Surface waves are defined as the seismic waves that travel across the surface of the Earth.

Transverse waves are the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Longitudinal waves are the waves in which the particles of the medium travel in the direction of the wave.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
