Answer:

B They travel only through solids.

Explanation:

Seismic s-waves are also known as secondary or shear-waves. They are elastic waves that travels within a body.

  • At a seismic station, they are the second set of waves to arrive after the primary - waves.
  • They can only pass through solid bodies as fluids cannot be sheared.
  • The above mentioned property makes them very useful in determining the interior property of the earth.
  • They are not the slowest seismic waves.
