D. A = B = C

The wave speed on a string is given by the square root of the tension divided by the mass per length. If the tensions and masses per length are all the same, then the wave speeds are the same.
























 



A. higher
A stiffer medium (larger spring constants) means faster oscillations and faster wave propagation.




















 



B. It is cut in half.

A. increases





















 



C. stays the same
The wave speed depends only upon the properties of the medium.




















 



B. decreases
