What do electromagnetic waves $NOT$ transport?

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $35 \ MHz$ travels in free space along the $X$-direction. At a particular point (in space and time) $\overrightarrow{E} = 9.6 \ \hat{j} \ V/m$. The value of the magnetic field at this point is:

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Statement $II$: The amplitude of the electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\varepsilon_0}} B_0$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by $\vec{E}(x, y, z, t) = E_0 \hat{n} e^{i k_0[(x+y+z)-ct]}$, where $c$ is the speed of light in free space. The $\vec{E}$ field is polarized in the $x-z$ plane. If the speed of the wave in the medium is $v$, then:

If an optical medium possesses a relative permeability of $\frac{10}{\pi}$ and relative permittivity of $\frac{1}{0.0885}$,then the velocity of light is greater in vacuum than that in this medium by . . . . . . times. $\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m, \varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ F/m, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s\right)$
