I'd say the atmosphere plays a role in all of these but if I had to choose one it would be D
Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly. And gases are very loosely packed. This enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.
Light waves do not require a medium to travel. This is how light can travel through space and we can see stars. Light waves travel at a much higher velocity as compared to sound waves. The velocity of light waves (through a vacuum) is 3 xx 10^8 m/s. In comparison, the velocity of sound waves (in air) is about 343 m/s. Different frequencies of light waves give rise to different colors. On the other hand, different frequencies of sound waves result in different pitches. Light waves and sound waves have very different frequencies from each other. Sound waves have low frequencies (20 to 20,000 Hz) as compared to light waves (~ 10^14 Hz).
In thicker materials the particles can move more easily, therefore the resistance has to decrease.
Hence Option (b) is correct.
Resistivity, which is sometimes represented by the Greek letter rho, is quantitatively equal to a specimen's resistance R times its cross-sectional area A times its length.
ρ = R × A/ l
R = ρ × l/ A
It means the Resistance of the material is inversely proportional to the area of the material.
As the area of the material increases, the resistance decreases and vice versa.
Hence, In thicker particles, there is a greater area available and that's why resistance has to decrease so that particles can move more easily.
Hence, Option (b) is correct.
