D waterwater

Answer 1

B lightlight

Light is not classified as a mechanical wave; it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium for propagation. The other options—earthquake waves, sound waves, and water waves—are all mechanical waves that require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through.
