The correct response is:
Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.
This is because sound requires a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, and since space is a vacuum, sound cannot travel through it. On the other hand, light waves (electromagnetic waves) can travel through a vacuum, allowing them to move from Earth to the moon.
