For item number 7, refer to the illustrations below.

7. Based on the illustrations, which of the following statements supports that sound generally
travels faster through solid than through liquid and gas?
A. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are closer together.
B. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are warmer.
C. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are heavier.
