Detailed Solution

The correct statement are sound requires a medium for propagation, and the medium are sound and light, and travels slower than light.
A sound wave cannot propagate through a vacuum because it needs a medium for its propagation. Sound is a mechanical wave which needs a medium for its propagation. It can travel through a material medium like air, water, iron rods, wires etc. sound travels faster in solid than liquid. And it travels faster in liquid than in gases. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium. The loudness of sound may increase or decrease with the medium of propagation.
