Answer:
C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter
Explanation:
A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc. 
Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

Low mass: Live for billions (trillions?) of years. The first low mass red dwarfs in this universe still haven't died off yet, so we aren't completely sure what happens when they "die." 
<span>Very High Mass: Run through their fuel exceedingly fast. *Die* relatively quickly (in the range of tens to hundreds of millions of years instead of billions and beyond) and go out with style, Supernova that will leave behind a neutron star (the *kind of very high mass stars" end this way) or a black hole (the *very very high mass stars* end this way.)</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Ions were once atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. Since they have opposite charges atoms are neutral. When they become ions the lose or gain electrons and become unbalanced.These different charges are attracted to each other via electric forces<span>.</span>
