Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Longitudinal waves are those in which the displacement of the medium moves in the same plane as the wave's direction of travel. Some compressions and rarefactions happen during wave propagation. Whereas transverse waves have crests and troughs in the perpendicular directions of the propagation.
The correct statement would be that the longitudinal waves have rarefactions and compressions.
