Solution

The correct options are
A
Transport energy only

B
Need medium to travel

C
Propagates as an oscillation of particle of matter

Mechanical waves propagate as an oscillation of matter and require medium to transport their energy. Particles move to and fro about their equilibrium position to transfer energy. There is no transport of matter.
