Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.
It acts in the upward direction.
Calcium has 2 valence electrons
Given that Oxygen has an oxidation state of 2 -, you can combine Mn 3+ with O 2- ions to form Mn2O3, and you can combine Mn 2+ with O 2- to form Mn2O2 which is MnO.
The other compounds imply oxidation states of N, Br and Cl that does not exist.
Therefore, the answer is the option D. MnO
