Look at the animations of longitudinal waves above. What happens to the particles of matter (red dot) as the waves move through them?

They do not move at all.

They move up and down, but come back to their original position.

They move side to side, but come back to their original position.

They travel down the screen with the wave and do not come back to their original position.
