Answer 1

The correct response is:

Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.

Sound requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to travel through, and since there is a vacuum between the Earth and the moon, sound cannot travel through that space. However, light waves, which are electromagnetic waves, can travel through the vacuum of space.
