    The answer is B. the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the surrounding air, this can be represented by a speed of sound in air formula: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T (where T is temperature)

    I'll try B, it can not be C because speed is not temperature :>)
