The correct response is:

They can cause vibrations or motions in the matter with which they interact.

Seismic waves and sound waves both propagate through a medium (such as solid, liquid, or gas) and can cause particles in that medium to vibrate or move in response to the wave. However, it's important to note that sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum, unlike electromagnetic waves.
