Answer

(c) Sound needs medium, but light does not need medium for it’s propagation

Reasonย โ€” Sound waves are mechanical waves. So, they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to travel through. In contrast, light waves are electromagnetic waves that can propagate through vacuum as well as various mediums. Light does not depend on a material medium for its transmission and can travel through empty space.
