The spring toy held in a horizontal position can best model:

**the transfer of energy without the transfer of matter along a wave.**

This is because in a spring, when it is compressed or stretched, energy is transferred through the coils of the spring without any matter actually moving from one end to the other; instead, the energy causes the particles of the spring to oscillate around their equilibrium positions.
