Sound waves does not travel in vacuum .
Radio waves and gamma ray are electro magnetic radiation.
( It is assumed one of the option ' magnetic wave ' means electro magnetic wave ).
Electromagnetic wave propagates due to fluctuation of electric and magnetic field . Hence no medium is required to propagate electromagnetic waves .
But sound waves are mechanical waves . Sound waves propagate due to pressure fluctuation or vibration of particles in the medium .
Hence sound waves propagate only through medium and does not travel in vacuum.
