Both are correct since sound waves are mechanical waves.
Explanation:
Sound wave is an example of mechanical wave. These wave requires a material medium for its propagation.
In this case, Sally and Conrad were arguing over the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.
Sally said that mechanical waves could be either transverse or longitudinal.
George said that sound waves were longitudinal and not transverse.
The mechanical waves could be either transverse or longitudinal ad also the sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
So, the correct option is (d) "Both are correct since sound waves are mechanical waves".
