The correct option is D

A sound is a form of energy that enables us to hear things.
Sound needs a material medium to travel from one place to another place.
In the absence of medium sound waves cannot propagate.
Sound can travel in solids, liquids, and gases.
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
Hence option (D) is the correct option.
