Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A pebble thrown into a body of water causes ripples to form all around it. Waves moving through the ocean are what are causing these ripples. The waves are moving transversely. The particles in a transverse wave are shifted perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation. Transverse waves include things like ripples on the water's surface and vibrations in a string.
So, the ripple on the surface of the water is an example of a transverse wave. Thus this statement is true.
