Answer: D. travel as transverse waves

The correct answer is D. travel as transverse waves.
Light waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel, whereas sound waves are longitudinal (compression) waves. Additionally, light can travel through a vacuum, while sound requires a physical medium like air or water to move.
