C. Molecules in the original disturbance disturb (move) adjacent molecules which disturb more adjacent molecules and so the wave travels.
A wave can be defined as a propagating dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities.
A wave can be propagated in longitudinal or transverse method.
When waves start as a disturbance (an input of energy) in a medium (water, air, the earth etc).
The energy of the disturbance is moved from the starting point to other places in the medium by molecules in the original disturbance disturb (move) adjacent molecules which disturb more adjacent molecules and so the wave travels.
Thus, the correct option is C.
"Molecules in the original disturbance disturb (move) adjacent molecules which disturb more adjacent molecules and so the wave travels".
