1 answer

If there was no matter to vibrate, there would be no sound. Sound travels through a medium (like air, water, or solids) as vibrations of particles. In a vacuum or a space devoid of matter, there are no particles to transmit these vibrations, so sound cannot exist. Therefore, the correct answer is:

There would be no sound.
