Solution

The correct options are
A Temperature
B Density
C Elasticity
Speed of sound depends on the temperature, density and elasticity of medium. Colour of the medium does not affect the speed of sound.

Rise in temperature leads to increase in speed of sound and vice-versa.

With increase in density of the medium, the speed of the sound decreases and vice-versa.

With increase in the elasticity of the medium, the speed of the sound also increases and vice-versa.
