Correct answer
DElectromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they propagate through space.
Step-by-step explanation
Electromagnetic waves do not required any medium to propagate. They can travel in vacuum. They are transverse in nature like light. They carry both energy and momentum.
A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa. Which gives rise to a transverse wave known as electromagnetic wave.
