Which one of the following properties is not exhibited by the longitudinal waves?

  1. A.Interference
  2. B.Reflection
  3. C.Diffraction
  4. D.Polarization

Why D is correct

Polarization is a property of transverse waves (it involves orientation of oscillations). Longitudinal waves (oscillations parallel to propagation) can show interference, reflection and diffraction but not polarization.
