Q1: A — solids
Sound travels fastest through solids because their particles are closest together and transmit vibrations more quickly.
Q2: C — frequency
Of the choices, frequency (cycles per second) is the wave property relating to how fast the vibrations repeat. (Strictly speaking "speed" of sound is wave speed, which equals wavelength × frequency, and isn't listed.)
Q3: A — higher pitch
A thinner wire vibrates faster (higher frequency), producing a higher-pitched sound.
