The correct answer is **C) They travel faster in a solid than in other mediums.**
Sound waves travel more quickly in solids than in liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are much closer together, allowing the sound waves to transmit their energy more efficiently. In contrast, sound travels slower in gases due to the greater distances between particles.
