Solution

The correct option is C $1 < 4 < 3 < 2$
Speed of sound is lowest in gases, and highest in liquids.
It is more in Steel than in copper, because steel has higher Young's Modulus.
$s p e e d = \sqrt{\frac{Y o u n g^{'} s M o d u l u s}{d e n s i t y}}$

So option C represents correct order of speed of sound in increasing order.
