Andre listed some properties of electromagnetic waves.
Marysya12 [62]

The right answer is Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through empty space.  

Electromagnetic radiation refers to a form of linear energy transfer. Visible light is electromagnetic radiation, but is only a small slice of the broad electromagnetic spectrum. The propagation of this radiation does not need material to move.

if we take the example of solar energy, it spreads in space, the atmosphere until reaching the earth.

Once it reaches a material, it gives rise to many phenomena such as attenuation, absorption, diffraction and refraction, redshift, interferences, echoes, electromagnetic parasites and biological effects.
