Answer:

D) Transverse

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of wave that does not need a medium (substance) to travel through is a "Transverse" wave. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, and they can propagate through a vacuum or any other medium without requiring a material substance to transmit them.

So, the correct answer is "Transverse."
