They are transverse and travel at the speed of light. They are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum so they travel at the speed of light. They are both types of transverse waves because the medium they travel through have particles that are perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Hope this helps!

The answer would be C. Gamma Rays and High Frequency EM waves travel at the speed of light and are transverse waves.
