Solution

The correct options are
A speed of wave increases
C amplitude of wave increases
D there is no change in phase angle
Since the body moves from a denser to rarer medium, the velocity must increase.
To keep power transmission a constant, the amplitude of the wave would also increase.
Since v=fλ and frequency being a property of the source (cannot change with medium), the wavelength must also increase.
There would also be no phase change. (only superimposition changes the phase).
