Question
**Seismic Wave Path Illustration**

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image illustrates the Earth's interior cross-section with a focus on the path of a seismic wave. The Earth is shown as a sphere with one half removed to display its internal layers. A blue dashed line represents the seismic wave's curved trajectory as it travels from one point on the Earth's surface, through the mantle, and toward the other side of the planet. The image suggests the wave traveling through various Earth layers, indicating changes in speed and direction due to varying densities.

**Question:**
The path of which kind of seismic wave is shown here?

**Options:**
- P-wave
- S-wave
- Surface wave
- There is not enough information to determine which seismic wave is arriving.
