The correct answer is:
**A**
Sound energy travels in waves that need a solid, liquid, or gas to carry them.
Sound requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate, as it relies on the vibration of particles in these substances to transmit the energy. In a vacuum, where there are no particles to vibrate, sound cannot travel.
