Correct Answer: sound travels faster in moist air


Solution : The correct option is sound travels faster in moist air.

Sound waves can diffract, or spread out, in various directions as a result of falling raindrops. This may cause sound waves to deflect around obstructions and propagate to places where they might not otherwise go on a clear day.
