      Answer: The correct answer is Option D. L-wave. Seismic waves are the waves of energy that are generated during an earthquake. P-waves, S-waves, and T-waves are seismic waves, whereas L-waves are not. L-waves are surface waves, also known as Love waves, which are responsible for most of the damage caused by earthquakes. Explanation: P-waves are primary waves that travel the fastest and are the first waves detected by seismographs. S-waves are secondary waves that travel slower than P-waves and can only move through solids. T-waves are also known as transverse waves that move perpendicular to the direction of propagation. L-waves are surface waves that move in a horizontal direction and are responsible for most of the damage caused by earthquakes.
