Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature is evident by (a) polarization (b) interference (c) reflection (d) diffraction

Answer: (a). Interference, diffraction and reflection occur for both longitudinal and transverse waves. Polarization needs a vibration direction perpendicular to propagation, so only transverse waves show it. So the answer is (a) polarization.
