The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
The options "medium" and "rope" are correct. "Medium" is the most general term for whatever carries a wave; a "rope" is one possible type of medium.
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
It travels as a transverse wave. A longitudinal wave would mean the the rope is stretching and compressing. The fact that you see displacement perpendicular to the rope means it is transverse.
the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.

A periodic wave done using a rope is for example a sine wave. It is the form of Simple Harmonic Motion, and traces the equation y = sin(x) where y=1 and -1 are the peaks.
The rope is the source of wave pulse.

Lay a long length of rope on the ground, straight out. Grab one end and jerk it upward and downward. A wave will pass down towards the other end of the rope, this is a transverse wave.
the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.
transverse wave
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
Hoses cause a rope wave when you grasp their ends in each hand, and Whip them downward and upward repetitively.
