Explanation:

A disturbance can cause a wave. Waves need a medium (like water, air) to travel through. For example, when you throw a stone in water (disturbance), waves (which travel through the water - the medium) are created. The first option is wrong as medium doesn't create a disturbance that stops a wave. The second option is incorrect as medium is not a type of disturbance. The third option is wrong as disturbance is not a type of medium.

Answer:

A disturbance can cause a wave that travels through a medium.
