Solution

The correct option is B 2500 Hz
SInce rod is clamped at middle, therefore only nodes can form at that point, and at free end only antinode can form, therefore for fundamental mode of frequency,
λ/4=L/2
λ=2L=2×70cm=1.4m
v=3500 ms1 is given,
We know, v=f×λ or f=vλ=3500/1.4=2500Hz
Option "B" is correct.
