Photons are particles of light, and they have certain characteristics, such as zero rest mass, energy proportional to frequency, and the ability to be polarized. However, photons do not always travel at the speed of light. Photons can be absorbed and reemitted by matter, and their speed can be altered by interacting with matter. In a vacuum, photons do travel at the speed of light, but in other media, their speed can be reduced. Therefore, option B is not a characteristic of photons.
