A statement that is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves is that;

A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum

The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.
