Light needs a material medium to travel.
Hence, the statement of the question is false.
The correct statement is :
(a) Sound and light both require medium for propagation
(b) Sound can travel in vacuum, but light can not
(c) Sound needs medium, but light does not need medium for its propagation
(d) Sound and light both can travel in vacuum.
From the bell jar experiment, it is inferred that sound needs a material medium to travel.
