The answer that apply is:
They carry energy
They travel from the epicenter.
They vibrate throughout the lithosphere.

Reason why the following the false:
They move in one direction- seismic wave do not only move in a direction but spread out through the plate,that's why a large area would be affected.

They are produced by earthquakes. - seismic waves are not produced by earthquake but the opposite,earthquake occurs due to the release of seismic wave when the ground break and vibrates.
