Solution

All of the above. Transverse waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Therefore, the waves that travel through a guitar string when you pluck it, a spring toy (slinky) when you shake it side to side, and a bungee cord when you shake it up and down are all examples of transverse waves.
