Worth 25 points and ! a group of scientists studied seismic waves and observed that the waves were bent. based on the scientists' observations, it can be concluded that the seismic waves may have bent due to earth's gravitational field bent due to earth's magnetic field passed through the earth's core passed through the mantle

The answer is D

Explanation:

S-waves and P-waves are located in the mantle and when waves pass through the mantle the bend

Option D, passed through the mantle

Explanation:

These seismic waves are P-waves as they travel deep inside the earth (nearly 3000 Km from the surface of earth)

Usually a P wave passes through the core and mantle of the earth. It propagates by compressing and refracting the particles with in the earth's core and mantle.

While passing by the core and mantle, it experience strong refractive force due to which these waves bend and their speed reduces.  

Hence, option D is correct
