The particles travel outwards with
• the wave, ending up far from where they started.
The particles bump into each other, moving back and forth but after it passes they remain where they were initially.
The particles bump into each other, moving back and forth as well as traveling with the wave as it moves, ending up far from where they started.
The particles remain stationary,
• allowing the wave to pass around them.

The correct answer is: The particles bump into each other, moving back and forth but after it passes they remain where they were initially.
In a sound wave, the particles of the medium (such as air, water, or solids) vibrate back and forth around their equilibrium positions as the wave travels through the medium, but they do not travel with the wave itself.
