Correct answer: A
Seismic waves are categorized into body waves and surface waves based on their propagation path. P-waves (Primary) and S-waves (Secondary) travel through the Earth's interior, making them body waves. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel along the crust, classifying them as surface waves.
