The correct response is:
The seismic waves will travel outward at the same speed in all directions.
This statement is true because seismic waves, when traveling through a homogeneous medium, propagate outward from the epicenter at consistent speeds (depending on the type of seismic wave and the properties of the medium). However, the other statements are not necessarily true for all observers.
