The correct statement is: **Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.**
This is because light is an electromagnetic wave and does not require a medium to travel, whereas sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. Since space is a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it, but light can.
