A.
the source should execute longitudinal vibrations
B.
the source should execute transverse vibrations
C.
the source may execute any type of vibrations
Answer
D.
the vibrations of source are not necessary

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
To produce sound it is necessary that the source may execute any type of vibrations. Sound requires material medium for its propagation. It is produced when a body vibrates. The vibrations produced at a point are transmitted in the medium (air) from one point to the next and so on in the form of mechanical waves which produce compressions and rarefactions in air.
