The correct response is:
**sound waves, because they travel by oscillating molecules.**
Sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate, as they depend on the oscillation of molecules within that medium. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not need a medium.
