Dear student
Sound waves are produced due to continuous compressions and rarefactions. So, as the density in solids is the highest compared to liquids, gases, and ionized gases as given in the question, the sound wave travels with the highest velocity in this medium. Hence, we can conclude that option (A) is the correct option.
