Answer: The correct answer is option(D).

Step-by-step explanation:

Light travels in a straight line as a wave. It does not require any medium or material to travel like sound waves which means it can travel in vacuum.The speed of the light from the special theory of relativity is a constant value of
34* 10^(8) m/second.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
