The correct statement is:
The speed of sound is generally faster in solids than in gases, because solids are denser than gases.
This statement explains that sound travels faster in solids primarily due to the greater stiffness and closely packed particles in solids, not just density alone. While solids are often denser than gases, it's the combination of density and the rigidity of the material that contributes to the faster speed of sound in solids.
