Transverse mechanical waves will pass through any mechanical medium. That included solids and fluids, the latter, the fluids, will included liquids and gases.
Answer
A)both in a gas and in a metal

D) Neither a gas nor a metal.
Longitudinal waves (such as sound waves) propagate well in solid metals and gases, but transverse waves only propagate well in liquids (such as ocean waves). The only exception would be mercury, since it is a liquid metal, or other metals as long as they are molten (liquid form).
