Sudden disturbances of the earth release waves of energy called seismic waves. There are several different types of seismic waves, such as the P, and the S waves. The following statement about S waves is true:  S waves are also called secondary waves. Correct answer: A S waves are transverse waves, which means they vibrate up and down, perpendicular to the motion of the wave as they travel.

S waves are also called secondary waves. Thus the option A is correct.

What are the S waves ?

The S waves are the secondary waves that are seismically made by an earthquake. These waves are the second to appear on the seismograph. The waves are also called as elastic body waves. They can travel by solids but not through liquids. These are transverse waves that is particles that can move from the direct motion of particles.
