Answer:

(B) The electromagnetic waves reach Earth, while the mechanical waves do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation, so it will reach the Earth. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation, so mechanical waves will not reach Earth.

Therefore, the correct option is B "The electromagnetic waves reach Earth, while the mechanical waves do not".
