Your answer would be D. Mechanical and Pressure/Longitudinal. This is because a sound wave is usually a type of pressure wave caused by the vibration of an object in a conductive medium such as air. These waves are also mechanical because they require a medium to travel through. This is also why sound simply cannot travel through vacuums like space, because they have no mediums in which sound can travel through.

What is the source of all mechanical waves?

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.
