Solution

The correct options are
C obey the laws of reflection
D are forms of energy
Both sound and light are forms of energy. Since sound waves are mechanical waves, they require a medium to propagate. Light waves do not require a medium to travel. Laws of reflection are applicable for both light and sound waves.
Speed of light and sound in air are 3×108 ms1 and 340 ms1 respectively.
