Answer:

c They can only travel without a medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are made up of electric field and magnetic field.

Here electric field will induce magnetic field and magnetic field will induce electric field.

So this type of field do not require any medium and in vacuum or air the speed of electromagnetic waves are same as speed of light


c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

also we have different range of electromagnetic waves out of which a small range of electromagnetic waves is of visible region in which these waves are visible to us.

so correct answer is

c They can only travel without a medium.
