Solution

Dear Student ,
Here the option given by you is not perfect .There is no source of sound on the surface of the moon .The sound moves through a particular medium .But there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon so without any medium how sound can be propagated from one place to another .Though a vibration can travel through the solid so moon's solid surface or through the moon's soil sound can propagate .
And yes we can hear sound when sound travels through a soil when we replace our ear in the soil then we can hear the vibration of the sound .

Regards
