Which type of waves is produced when a stone is dropped on the surface of the water in a pond?

A transverse wave is produced when we drop a stone on the surface of the water in a pond.

When we drop any stone into a pond full of water, then the wave produced by the stone in the pond is known as a transverse wave. Likewise, when the particle of a mechanical wave, such as a transverse wave, vibrates perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the sound wave, then it is known as a transverse wave.
