GPT-5 mini · Answer

Only this is true:

- Sound moves faster in the ocean than in the air.

Reason: Speed of sound depends on how quickly a medium restores shape (stiffness) and its density. In general solids > liquids > gases for sound speed, so sound travels much faster in water (≈1500 m/s) than in air (≈343 m/s). The other statements are false (sound in Jell‑O/gelatin is typically faster than in liquid water because it behaves more like a solid; diamond transmits sound far faster than rubber; seawater is usually slightly faster than freshwater).
