Awave travels through a medium because
a. the medium’s particles are carried along with the wave.
b. the wave’s energy passes from particle to particle.
c. the medium transfers electromagnetic energy.
d. the wave increases the potential energy of its medium.

b. the wave’s energy passes from particle to particle.

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance or propagation of energy which travels through a medium.

When wave or disturbance is carried out by a medium then in that case the total energy is transferred from one particle to another particle.

It is not absorbed by the particles but it is just carried from one particle to other particle

Here we can say that this disturbance will reach from one point of medium to other point of the medium without actual movement of the medium particles

So here correct answer would be

b. the wave’s energy passes from particle to particle.

increases it
