Consider the following statements about wave motion:
P. In a transverse wave on a stretched string, each particle of the string executes vibration perpendicular to the string while the disturbance moves along the string.

R. Both transverse and longitudinal waves involve bulk transport of matter.
Which of the above statements are correct?
(a) Q and R only
(b) P and R only
(c) P and Q only
(d) P, Q and R
