Answer:

The correct answer is option : Mechanical wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical waves are the wave which requires any medium to travel or to propagate or we can say wave which transfers energy through medium.For example: sound waves, water waves etc.

Shock wave is the wave with speed larger than the normal speed of light moving in a medium.

An electromagnetic waves are the waves capable of travelling through empty space or vacuum.They are composed of electric field and magnetic field. The gamma ray and radio wave are the example of electromagnetic wave.
