The correct answer is B. An underground lake

Explanation:

Sound moves more slowly in liquids or gases than in solids, in which particles are together. Additionally, the speed of sound is measured in meters per second or m/s. In this context, if the speed of a sound wave reduced from 4,000 m/s to 1,500 m/s while traveling through the surface of Earth, which is solid, it is likely the cause is a change in the medium the wave is going through.

Moreover, the average speed of sound in air is below 400 m/s, this suggests the sound was not traveling through an open cavity. However, the speed in liquids such as water is around 1480 m/s, this is quite similar to the second speed registered. According to this, the sound wave slowed because it was traveling through a liquid medium; therefore, the answer is an underground lake.

After many Georgians saw the benefits of slave work in rice plantations was profitable. Another important fact is the amount of rivers that Georgia has, which was linked to the freshwater swamps on the coast.  Serious rice production was developed in the freshwater swamps and along the main tidal rivers, such as the Ogeechee, Savannah River, Altamaha, St. Mary’s and the Satilla. Since wet rice was more demanding to cultivate than any other kind, rice plantations started moving inland as a result of the development in agriculture such as irrigation systems, levees, ditches, culverts, and other constructions.
