Solution

The correct answer is "It must have a medium". Mechanical waves, such as sound waves or ocean waves, require a medium (like air, water, or a solid material) to travel through. They cannot travel in a vacuum or empty space. Light, which is an electromagnetic wave, can travel in a vacuum, but it is not a mechanical wave.
