"a pulse that carries energy"

Reason: A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy (and information) through a medium or space. It involves vibrations of the medium (for mechanical waves) but does not transport the medium itself. The other choices either describe the medium (3) or incorrectly say waves move matter (2,4).
