C) they both carry energy
Sound waves and light waves both carry energy as they propagate through their respective mediums. Sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel, while light waves (electromagnetic waves) can travel through a vacuum as well as through various materials. Therefore, the best choice that applies to both is that they both carry energy.
