Answer:

A light wave travels through the vacuum of space

Step-by-step explanation:

A light wave cannot be a matter wave because a matter wave is made up of

atoms while light wave is a form of radiation (electromagnetic). A matter wave requires a medium to travel while a light wave do not require medium to travel. Since light wave is a form of radiation, light can travel in vacuum.

Hence, the correct answer is A light wave travels through the vacuum of space
