Answer:

B.

Electromagnetic waves do not require any type of media.

The correct statement is " Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through".

What is electromagnetic wave?

Electromagnetic waves are synchronized vibrations of electric along with magnetic fields that travel across a vacuum at the speed of light. The oscillations of the two fields generate a transverse wave since they are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of energy as well as wave propagation.

What is energy ?

The capacity to work is defined as energy. It can take the form of potential energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, or any other form.

Therefore, the statement "Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through" will best describe electromagnetic waves.

Hence, the correct answer will be option (b).
