Velocity of sound would be greatest in the medium with the highest density.

The highest density is either steel or lead. Other substance are not as dense as steel or lead.

From values: steel = 7.85 g/cm³, lead = 11.29 g/cm³

Hence lead is denser.

So velocity of sound would be greatest in lead.

A. Lead
