Your question: What happens to particles in a surface wave (such as a water wave)?
My answer: B, They move perpendicular and parallel to the direction of wave motion.
Explanation: This is practically the answer the question below (or above me) tried to explain.

The surface wave, the particles moves up and down. They also move backwards and forth in an overall circular motion.
- Most of the ocean waves are created by the wind blowing across the water.
- Moving the air molecules transfer their energy to the molecules of the ocean water. As the winds blow the larger waves are generated due to the energy.
Thus the option B is correct. The move in 90 degrees and parallel to the direction of motion.
