A: it does not vibrate inside the spacecraft
B: id does not vibrate on moon surface
C: it vibrations are not transmitted inside the spacecraft
D:it's vibrations are not transmitted to the moon's atmosphere

Answer 1

The correct option is;

D: Its vibrations are not transmitted to the moon's atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

A tuning fork is used to produce sound by vibration such that the tune produced is pure

The tune, sound, produced by the tuning fork is transmitted as sound wave through the air by means of the gases of the air as a transmission medium so people at a distance that have air around them can hear the tuning fork sound

On the Moon's surface, the atmosphere is very and it is referred to technically as an exosphere, so the sound of the tuning fork has no medium through which to transmit and therefore, it is not transmitted on the Moon's atmosphere.
