Solution

The correct option is A Mechanical
Mechanical waves are the waves which require a medium for their propagation. They cannot travel through vacuum. E.g. sound waves through air. On the other hand, non-mechanical waves don't require a medium for their propagation. E.g. light waves, X-rays etc.
