Answer:

C. Empty Space

Step-by-step explanation:

A vacuum is an empty space.

  • In a vacuum, there is no form of matter present.
  • A vibration moving energy from place to place is a wave
  • The part of a wave pushed together is called a compression
  • The material through which a mechanical wave can travel is a medium

So, a vacuum is simply an empty space devoid of matter.
