Solution

The correct option is C $330 m s^{- 1}$
The speed of sound is the distance traveled per unit of time by a sound wave propagating through an elastic medium. In dry air at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degree Fahrenheit), the speed of sound is 343.2 meters per second.
That is, 340 m/s.
The nearest option that matches this is 330 m/s.
