Question

The wave speed of sound waves traveling through four different media was measured at a constant temperature. Results are summarized in the table. Which statement provides a plausible hypothesis based on these results?
Medium Wave Speed of Sound
Cork 366 m/s
Water 1,433 m/s
Glass 5,640 m/s
Steel 6,100 m/s

A.
Changing the composition of a medium from metals to nonmetals enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
B.
Changing the state of a medium from liquid to solid enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
C.
Decreasing the brittleness of a medium enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
D.
Increasing the density of molecules in a medium enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
