Solution

The correct option is C Propagate as an oscillation of particles of matter

Mechanical waves propagate as an oscillation of matter and require a medium to transport their energy.

Particles do not move from their equilibrium position.

They make only to and fro motion.

So, only energy is transported when a mechanical wave propagates.
