Answer

Brief Explanations:

For Part A, mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. Sound waves travel through air or other media, ocean waves through water, and compression waves through solids, liquids or gases. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and can travel through a vacuum, so they are not mechanical waves. For Part B, electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of electric charges, can transmit energy like the Sun - Earth energy transfer, have electric and magnetic components, and their speed generally decreases in a denser medium.

Answer:

Part A: C. radio wave Part B: Electromagnetic wave
