The correct answer is D. light.

Explanation:
Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which is capable of traveling through a vacuum. Unlike sound and mechanical waves (options A and B), which require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, electromagnetic waves can propagate through empty space. Light waves are a type of electromagnetic wave and do not rely on a material medium for their transmission. Seismic waves (option C) are also mechanical waves and require a medium, such as the Earth's crust, to travel through.
