Solution

The correct option is D Both the statements are incorrect.
Speed of sound depends on the temperature of a medium. Higher the temperature of a medium, the faster its particle move. Thus, the sound travels quicker through the medium. But, as there is no medium on the surface of the moon, sound is not heard nor it propagates.
Thus, both the statements are incorrect.
