Answer 1

S-waves, or secondary waves, cannot travel through liquids. They can only pass through solid materials. Given this, the correct option is:

inner core, mantle, and crust

This is because S-waves can pass through the inner core, the mantle, and the crust, but they cannot travel through the outer core, which is liquid.
