Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away?

a.
light from the stars is visible light and travels in longitudinal waves. longitudinal waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth.

b.
light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth.

c.
light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels through the vacuum of space to be seen on the earth.

d.
light from the stars is visible light and travels as surface to surface waves. surface waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels from the surface of the star to the surface of the earth.

c.?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
