The correct response is:

A) light waves

Light waves (which are a form of electromagnetic radiation) can travel through a vacuum, while ocean waves and sound waves require a medium (such as water or air) to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum either, as they also require a medium.
