The best description of the formation and transmission of the sound wave when a guitar string is plucked is:
**The string vibrates the surrounding air, which produces a longitudinal wave.**
When the string vibrates, it creates fluctuations in air pressure that propagate as a longitudinal wave, traveling through the air as sound.
