Correct answer: "Sound waves are mechanical waves that can only travel through a medium, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a medium or through a vacuum."

Brief reason: Sound needs particles to transmit vibrations (longitudinal), whereas light is oscillating electric and magnetic fields (transverse) and can propagate through empty space.
