Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Sound waves require material medium to travel. As there is no atmosphere (vacuum) on the surface of moon, therefore the sound waves cannot travel from one person to another. Because of this reason, for communication on moon astronomer use phones, which convert sound wave into radio waves (electromagnetic waves which need no medium for propagation).
