A Correct answer
Explanation

Sound travels faster in humid air because water vapor is less dense than dry air, and sound speed increases as the density of the medium decreases (at constant pressure). Rainy seasons have higher humidity, facilitating faster travel.

AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of how sound travels through different mediums.

In general, sound travels faster in solids and liquids compared to gases. This is because the particles in solids and liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more easily.

During the rainy season, the air is often more humid. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. When the air is humid, it contains more water molecules, which can act as additional particles for sound waves to travel through. This can increase the speed of sound in the air, making it travel faster during the rainy season.

Therefore, the statement "Voice travels faster in the rainy season" is true. Option A is correct.
