The correct response is: The cork will move up and down but will not leave its position on the surface.

When circular waves travel across the surface of the water, the cork will bob up and down due to the motion of the waves, but it will not move horizontally away from its position. The circular motion of the waves causes vertical oscillation but does not result in horizontal displacement of the cork.
