Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Compression waves are another name for longitudinal waves. Electromagnetic waves (like light) do not require a medium and are not sound - related. Seismic waves are waves caused by earthquakes and are not the same as sound waves.

Answer:

D. longitudinal wave, B. compression wave
