Which among these is transferred when a sound wave is propagating?

Solution
The correct option is B Energy
When sound propagates through a medium, particles which make up the matter of the medium oscillate about their mean position. When one particle oscillates, it strikes with the particle adjacent to it, and transfers its energy ahead.
Thus, the particles themselves are not propagating in the forward direction but their energy is being transferred from one point to another.
