    A They are both transverse waves.

    Explanation:

    Both of them are non mechanical transverse wave. In transverse wave the movement in the medium particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave. I electromagnetic wave, the fluctuation is in electric and magnetic field which contains the energy of wave. The direction of their fluctuation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

    B is wrong as X - rays have smaller wave length.

    The energy of both the rays is more than that of visible light.

    They do not require medium to travel.
